TypeZERO - SHIFT

Review by Samantha Turrubiate

SHIFT, the latest album from TypeZERO, is a masterclass in modern metal. The band has crafted a sound that is both heavy and melodic, with a focus on intricate guitar work and powerful vocals.

From the opening track, "Shift," the album sets a high bar for itself. The song features a driving rhythm section and soaring guitar solos that immediately grab the listener's attention. This energy carries through the rest of the album, with each track offering its own unique take on the band's sound.

One standout track is "Into the Abyss," which features a hauntingly beautiful chorus that showcases the band's ability to write memorable hooks. The song also features a blistering guitar solo that will leave metalheads salivating.

Another highlight is "The Final Hour," a track that starts off with a slower, more atmospheric vibe before kicking into high gear with a crushing guitar riff. The song's chorus is catchy and anthemic, making it a surefire crowd-pleaser at live shows.

About TypeZERO

Who is Type-Z.E.R.O.? Type-Z.E.R.O. started back in 2003, when as a progressive DJ, the appeal of the harder sounds started to pull him away from what he had been producing and spinning for years. Type-Z.E.R.O. started out as a hard acid trance production alias. As the years went by, he found that the harder sounds kept on pulling him deeper and deeper into the the genre. Eventually the Progressive Trance sound fell completely and Type-Z.E.R.O. was the only focus... A DJ career dating back to 2001, and production dating back to 1997, Type-Z.E.R.O. Has been at this game for a while. Originally taking root in progressive and techno, his sound has evolved across almost every genre of trance and now settling in on Hardstyle. Obsess with the genre, Type-Z.E.R.O. has dedicated himself to perfecting his mixing techniques and playing some of the most uplifting and driving melodies combined with the hardest and dirtiest drum beats around. After an almost 4 year hiatus, Type-Z.E.R.O. returned with a vengeance in 2010... with a new sound and a new company, Type-Z.E.R.O.'s Overdrive Canada has been ripping it up, and destroying dance floors. Leading the way for hard dance and Hardstyle in Canada, Type-Z.E.R.O. has become a driving force. His sets are always super high energy and raw. His trademark tempo changes and style changes ranging from hardest slow tempo kick drum break downs, into the funkiest of electro grooves and all the way into hardcore and gabber. Nothing is off limits, and nothing is to far fetched. Combined with an unparallelled energy behind the decks, Type-Z.E.R.O. brings a whole new experience to hard dance lovers. Continuously gigging, always practicing and ever refining his sound, Type-Z.E.R.O. has had the pleasure to be showcased on several mix compilations. He has also won Most requested DJ and also claiming the title of Best DJ in Ottawa in 2011. A title he kept in the 2012, taking it by storm. With the launch of Overdrive Canada Digital(OCD) label, the push continues to showcase Canadian hard dance talent. The only all Canadian Hardstyle label, with the sole purpose of bringing Canadian hardstyle to the intentional scene. Since it's launch, Type-ZERO has had several Top100 international releases on the Hardstyle charts, and reaching the Top40 in 2013. In early 2012, Type-Z.E.R.O. also teamed up with the Hard Dance Nation from the United States, to bring more intentional talents to Canada. In March 2012 OCD teamed up with Hardstyle.com to sell originally produced Canadian hardstyle tracks on their website. Bringing the Canadian hard dance sound to the world. Working with his partners, both locally and on the intentional level, Type-Z.E.R.O. has shown that his drive, determination and love for the music is second to none. An energy that's impossible to resist, a sound that always leaves people wanting for more, and a stage presence that just draws people in, Type-Z.E.R.O. is on a level of his own. Having played along side of such names as DJ Coone, DJ Sharkey, DJ Unknown, Angerfist, CLSM, Crisis Era, Luna-C, Rodi Styles, DJ Prospect, DJ Pinnacle, Mark Smith, Original Sin, The Divider, Zoe Van West, No-Left-Turn, The Blizzard Boys, Dain-Ja, P4L4DIN, DJ Mad, DJ Tamerax, DJ Virus, Starscape, DJ Joe Rowe just to name a few. Get ready for a hardstyle experience like no other, It's time to play...
