The lights are white but at half-strength, giving the fog a canvas to paint and a shroud for the anonymous. Meanwhile the band builds and builds to a tense and deafening crescendo, the stage now fully illuminated and PA system at full bone-quaking power. As the band flexes and claps repeatedly like a passing thundercloud, all of a sudden the massive apex comes crashing down to reveal a single violin, melancholic and pondering. This is The Infinity Ring.
Describing the second single off the upcoming LP, Cameron Moretti comments: “Like many songs on this album, ‘Revenge’ is a reflection on memory. How it lingers, distorts, and carves itself into us like scars. The lasting imprints, familial wounds that define but also imprison. ‘Revenge’ is a farewell letter to these memories — a bittersweet goodbye and “thank you” for the pain that has shaped me.” – according to the founding member of The Infinity Ring, the current trajectory of band’s creativity is the result of constant evolution. Whether via your standard “rock band” configuration or utilizing noise, processed samples, keys, industrial percussion or chamber quartet, The Infinity Ring’s work has an ability to feel classical, learned and wise beyond their years.
In the creation of ATARAXIA, we felt like we had mined so many dark spaces and ideas that in a lot of ways it had taken an extreme emotional and creative toll,” explains The Infinity Ring frontman Cameron Moretti. “We began to realize that the themes of the work had become manifest, affecting our vision, approach and ideas in a way inconsistent with our goals of catharsis. So we took some time. And in taking a pause, we gained perspective and were able to look further inward, to explore some of the turmoil and found that that the only path out was through– redemption via a beacon of light shining on the dark corners that we had created for ourselves.”
