The Fireburst EP features reimagined tracks from The Oklahoma Kid's 2019 debut album Solarray. Stripped back to the bones and swapping heavy guitars with atmospheric soundscapes, Fireburst really shows off the band's ability to create mesmerising melodies and spine tingling hooks. The approach almost harks back to the early BMTH days, when the Olisaurus shocked fans with its unexpected and unique approach.
Each track has been renamed for the EP; original album name is in brackets:
1. Behind the Wheel (Shaking Off The Disease)
2. Fata Morgana (Oasis)
3. Twentyseven (Trailsign)
Formed in 2012, The Oklahoma Kid have consistently pushed boundaries with their breathtaking modern metal, bridging the gap between technical intricacy and energising rhythms. The band's 2014 debut EP Fortuneteller established their position within the German metal scene with their signature blend of genres.
In 2015 they revealed their sophomore EP Doppelganger, working with renowned producer Aljoscha Sieg (Eskimo Callboy, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Nasty) to deliver their signature bouncing grooves and futuristic synthesisers, complete with catchy hooks and singalongs. The band's unique video for 'Scharlatan', which was directed by Pavel Trebukhin (Alazka, Stick To Your Guns, Annisokay), also won the national PopFish Music Video Award.
2017 saw The Oklahoma Kid enter the studio to work on their debut album Solarray, a release that displayed the band's full sonic scope and capabilities - ranging from huge wall-of-sound arrangements to fragile melodies.
The Oklahoma Kid have electrified crowds with their passionate, relentless performance, touring with Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace and Hatebreed.
The quintet are no long an insider tip, they are a force to be reckoned with. Whether you experience them live at a festival or on record in your living room, The Oklahoma Kid will change your perception of what metal is capable of.
