The Outside

Bringing together a diverse mix of nationalities and musical backgrounds, The Outside comprises members from Chile, Canada and Germany. Offering a compelling mélange of challenging, Progrock-influenced Thrash Metal, The Outside recorded their first Demo in 2009 live at Monongo studios, known for Rock'n'Roll acts like Motörhead. Their vision took root in the German Cosmopolitan Capital of Berlin, where they have performed with internationally recognized metal acts like Sodom and Vicious Rumors and sold hundreds of demo copies.

The Outside self-financed their first album and played a lot of successful clubshows in Germany. Putting a lot on the line, the band booked passage to South America to embark on "The Revolt is On Tour" in Chile. The risk payed off. The crowds went crazy over The Outs (...) Mehr anzeigenide's storm of sound: the pounding of Alberto Atalah's drums, Sergio Klein's razorsharp riffs, the driving bass and the vocals of Roland B. Marx. The Outside’s aggressive melodic style and lyrics dealing with the failure of cultural metanarratives, the corrupting force of power and religion speaks directly to the souls of its audiences.

After signing a deal in Chile and with SAOL / H'Art, The Outside embarked the stages in Germany on two co-headlining tours again, performing their third and fourth trip within one year and promoting the release of their sophomore album in Europe, Russia and the USA in June 2012. In Spring 2013 they teamed up with new labelmates and well-knowned Thrashers of Hatred for a co-headlining tour yet again, to meet the high demand for more live performances.

Mixed and mastered by Igor Leiva at Atomic Noise Studio in Santiago, the outstanding cover artwork was painted by Claudio Bergamin, famed for working with artists like Rob Halford, Criminal, Paradox or Accept. The video clip of "The Stench" was recorded and produced by Abysmo (Kreator, Vader, Therion) in Valparaiso, Chile. "Empire" was shot in Berlin.

The Outside are working on their second full-length album and booking shows for the upcoming tour in spring 2014 as well as summer festivals.
