It Lies Within - Metalcore - Flint, MI
Hailing from Flint, Michigan, It Lies Within, a band that’s been at it for years, has risen to the occasion to headline Hear This! Promotions' first ever, Hear This FEST - and we could not be more thrilled.
The band will be the main attraction at an amazing day of upcoming music on February 8th, immediately following the end of their winter tour, which spans much of the east coast in a matter of less than two weeks.
Gravitating between inspiration and brutality while equally fluent in numerous sonic languages, It Lies Within offers an approachable sound for fans of the classic genre (the ripping solo in “We the Betrayed” is sure to impress any old Maiden timer) and the young flag bearers of new conventions (“The Watcher” never lets up for a second, breaking down in every way imaginable).
The second I realized It Lies Within was something special was in the final moments of “The Watcher”. The track already succeeds on multiple fronts with its blending of positive lyrics, beckoning a crowd from their rooms to the stage in hopes of doing more than just existing, with unmatchable low-tuned ferocity that, while operating within limited frameworks, handles the emotional release valve with seasoned gravitas. Vocalist Zachary Scott is as charismatic as he is relatable, utilizing his powerful scream to not only prove his worth, but also simultaneously construct himself as “one of us”, if you will—a performer and a fan. As his chilling (but still somehow uplifting) concluding line, “You are not alone” echoes off into the ether, an expertly placed electronic synth pulses in tune with your newfound brotherhood. You’ll be out of your room and dancing with everyone in no time, guaranteed.
"The Watcher" isn't the only note worthy song however from the group. Their 2012 album, "Chrysalis", is filled with amazing music, and tracks such as "Redefined Identity" and "Foundations" really standout and show what this band can do, and leave you wanting more.
Hear This! Fest kicks off at 4PM on February 8th, and It Lies Within—just one of many necessary, and potentially undiscovered, treasures you need in your life—will be there, and ready to throwdown a performance of a lifetime! So stop just existing. Take a chance and be a part of something. Show up Feb. 8th and make history at the first ever, Hear This! FEST. Who knows? Maybe we'll be back at it next year, and just maybe YOU'LL be headlining!
