SONIC PULSE: New Music Video Unveiled 'Bong Zombies'

With Halloween nearing in just a week, what better timing for the boys of Boston’s Sonic Pulse, the beer-fueled, power thrashing super group featuring members of Razormaze, Skull Hammer, Ravage andVindicator to unleash their new music video 'Bong Zombies', the directorial debut by vocalist Dan Hammer. 

“Directing the video was actually one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. There’s nothing more fun than trying to keep 10 metalheads, most of who have likely have some form of ADD, on task and trying to keep track of the shots that need to be taken at the same time. The graveyard scenes were filmed secret-agent style by sneaking into a graveyard with 40lbs of dry ice along with a fake bong and lighting equipment at night, with the rest being filmed at or around my house and in an abandoned room in a warehouse. You've gotta use guerrilla tactics if you want to save money on production lol!" comments Dan Hammer.

The video is in support of SP's new album 'Lager Than Life', which is now available digitally and on CD at the band's bandcamp and will soon be released as a limited edition vinyl with only 500 copies via a soon to be named label. Check out below.

In the depths of a dingy basement littered with instruments, recording equipment and empty beer cans, Dan Hammer (known for his antics in Skull Hammer) and David Carlino (heir to the Razormaze fortune) decided it was time to spawn a new project – Sonic Pulse.

The dynamic duo set out to rid the world of people who take themselves too seriously and don’t know what it means to party, working meticulously to perfect their craft, diligently recording songs over and over again, writing, drinking, playing videogames and chinning people.

On the fast track to achieving their goal, Sonic Pulse will release their debut album, Lager than Life, in the fall, finally unveiling the carefully crafted fusion of power metal and thrash they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Fraught with peril and uncertainty, the story of Lager than Life unfolds, leading you on a quest to, what else, get beer.

Sonic Pulse can only be summed up one way -- good music for bad people.

Sonic Pulse: lots of beer with "Lager than Life"

They love humor, they would drown in a pool of beer during a metal concert, they are Sonic Pulse the fun, booze and fantasy themed metal band. They are professionals in the ancient art of partying but instead of the regular punk, hardcore we are used to listen when it comes to party they use their power/thrash metal skills to break everything up till the very last minute of the show. A furious, catchy, powerful injection of thrash, punk flavored record with some old taste of the 80´s metal riffs we are used to.

Although they do not sound completely new and fresh they bring to us the old sound mixed with brutal modernized melodic riffs and incredibly fast burning shreds with lots of fun lyrics full of humor and beer related songs that give them a lot of character and make “Lager Than Life” very entertaining and easy to appreciate. Despite their funny themes, don’t take it as a joke, Sonic Pulse are very serious with their music as you can hear they aren´t loafing around, the vocalist Dan has a good voice that rests nicely in the style, Mick and David are famished with hungry for speed and exhibit an out of the ordinary skill in the art of shred, Joe Bollettiero is a good drummer with a excellent technique and the drums create a good background link between all the instruments, the bass played by Lauren is very clear we can hear its presence in all the songs and its very strong with really good lines.

In the final we have a perfect mix of metal, comedy and lots of beer, “Lager Than Life” is a really great work, and will give you lots of laugh and headbang at the same time. Sonic Pulse are the perfect band to enjoy music for the only purpose of enjoying the fucking loud, heavy fast rhythm and to drink some beers while doing it.

Ohios`s WOM Fest VI Open Air confirms Power / Thrash Metal Supergroup, Sonic Pulse For 2013!

Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is excited to announce that Massachusetts Power / Thrash Metal supergroup, Sonic Pulse has been confirmed to play at Warriors Of Metal Fest VI Open Air which will take place at the Frontier Ranch in Pataskala,Ohio on June 28th & 29th, 2013.

Last year was a blast playing and partying with some mighty metal warriors, and I can't wait to see many of those people again. There are some amazing bands already confirmed, and we are excited to share the stage with some of our friends from MA.  So if you're a metalhead who plans on camping this summer, and you don't go to this, you are simply a poser. Tickets are about as cheap as regular camping, plus you know you'll be camping with fellow metalheads. There are great metal times to be had, and might I add that this is ALL AGES.  So all you kids who wish you could see your favorite bands, but they keep playing bars you can't get into, now is your chance! Flip off your parents (or don't if they're cool), grab your friends, get in a car, and ROAD TRIP!  Oh and one last thing. F*CKING ATTACKER IS PLAYING!!!!!!!!"

The first release from Sonic Pulse with 4 original songs and 2 covers entitled "Larger Than Life" was released on June 1, 2012.
