The Oklahoma Kid, a stalwart in the German metalcore scene, continues to captivate their audience with the release of their newest single, ‘Masquerade‘, from the eagerly awaited EP, »Featherminded«, out on August 22nd via Arising Empire.
This latest offering showcases the band’s ability to blend intricate guitar work with soaring melodies and compelling lyrical narratives.
The track combines aggressive instrumentation with melodic hooks, creating a dynamic tension that reflects the song’s thematic depth. This single further establishes The Oklahoma Kid’s penchant for pushing musical and thematic boundaries, solidifying their reputation as innovators in the genre.
To celebrate the release of »Featherminded«, The Oklahoma Kid is set to host a major release show on August 31st. This event promises to be a high-energy showcase of the new material, providing fans with an immersive live experience.
THE OKLAHOMA KID stands for breathtaking modern metal that bridges the gap between technical intricacy and energizing rhythms. Since their formation in 2012 the band – consisting of David J. Burtscher, Fred Stölzel, Robert Elfenbein, Tomm Brümmer and Andreas Reinhard – has consistently pushed the envelope and have established their foundation in the German metal scene.
After their successful debut album »Solarray« (2019) and struck by the global pandemic, THE OKLAHOMA KIDset their focus on writing new music, with one simple goal in mind, to best themselves and give every fan something to crave for – »Tangerine Tragic«.
»Tangerine Tragic« is built on the strengths of their debut »Solarray«. It plays with new ideas and concepts, comes gentle as a breeze and strikes hard as a wrecking ball. The album was recorded and produced by Jan Kerscher (Ghost City Recordings) – mixed and mastered by Lance Prenc (Alpha Wolf, Polaris, Dealer) that gives this production its full blown punch.
They toured the country with renowned acts such as Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace and Hatebreed and electrified crowds with their passionate, relentless performance.
THE OKLAHOMA KID are no longer an insider tip and a force to be reckoned with. No matter if live at a festival or on the record player in the living room; THE OKLAHOMA KID will change your perception of what metal is capable of.
