After generating nearly half-a-billion streams, going gold in a climate where that achievement is becoming increasingly rare, and completing a two-year whirlwind of sold-out shows, Detroit's I Prevail announced their second full-lengthTrauma earlier this week. The album will be released via Fearless Records on March 29. Pre-order it in physical and digital formats here.
The band also announced its Spring and Summer 2019 North American tour plans. The first leg of the band's headline tour kicks off on April 24 and runs through May 24. The second leg launches on July 11 and runs through August 9, and includes several major festival appearances. Joining the band for these dates will be special guests Issues and Justin Stone. Tickets for the tour are available here. All dates are below.
Trauma represents a moment of triumph in the wake of a series of trials and tribulations endured by the Michigan quartet—Brian Burkheiser [clean vocals], Eric Vanlerberghe [harsh vocals], Steve Menoian [lead guitar], and Dylan Bowman [rhythm guitar]. Even as they catapulted towards mainstream notoriety with 2016's breakout Lifelines, they faced unforeseen hardship that might've broken any other band. Burkheiser dealt with a debilitating vocal injury that jeopardized his future as a singer. He made it through, but dealt with the aftershocks of stress and anxiety. Conflicted with thoughts of potentially leaving the band, he made a decision. He got together with his band brothers in 2018 and they decided to craft the record they wanted to hear without outside input. Joined by producer Tyler Smith [Falling In Reverse], they emerged from 10 months in the studio with Trauma.
Now, the album represents a realization of their full potential. I Prevail elevate rock by making it unpredictable again, leaping from moments of metal, alternative, electronic, and heavy rock. This air of danger powers the hard-hitting new single "Bow Down." Watch + listen below.
Additionally, they unveiled a companion single "Breaking Down," which pairs glitchy flourishes with a hypnotic and heartfelt vocal performance and impactful refrain. Watch + listen below.
With an equally melodic and momentous offering, I Prevail soar on Trauma. Smarter and more confident, rock music gets the band it needs to carry it to the frontlines of heavy music: I Prevail.
