Two of the three members of Auckland's Chasing Titans discuss their debut EP, upcoming shows and plans for 2023.

About Chasing Titans

Chasing Titans is an alternative metalcore band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. Formed in 2018, this three-piece group made up of Adrian Govender (guitar/vocals), Sylvester Porizakova (bass/vocals), and Torrance Kam (drums/backing vocals) has been making waves in the local scene with their distinct and powerful amalgamation of metalcore, infused with elements of hip hop and electronica, coupled with emotionally charged and poignant lyrics/

The band released their self-titled debut EP in December 2022, which was met with an overwhelmingly positive reception. New Zealand music critic Kev Roland (Muzic.net.nz) said, “This certainly doesn’t sound like a debut as these guys are polished, tight and heavy,” while US label Moosic Entertainment called it “a requirement for you to put it in your playlist!”. All three singles from the EP, Cabin Fever, Vengeance, and New Depravity have charted and been featured on radio and media in the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia, and Mexico, with Cabin Fever achieving a peak position of number 3 on the Top 10 list on Valley FM 89.5 (Australia), garnering further acclaim for the band.

The rapid success of their EP on an international level propelled them to secure a remarkable deal with European metal label, Sliptrick Records, in June 2023. In February 2024 the band proudly announced their forthcoming debut album, Infinite Paradox, will be released via Sliptrick Records and the Dead Pulse record store on March 26th, 2024.

Alex, mostly known as vocalist from Christchurch's world renowned and respected Organectomy, also has a long standing solo project that has grown from strength to strength with each release. His 4th offering From Nothing Comes All brings with it what I would consider an evolution of sound and a unique addition to what once might have been considered a straightforward slam home project.
