about this album
Haunted Shores – the instrumental side project of Periphery guitarists Misha Mansoor and Mark Holcomb – have dropped "OnlyFangs", the third single from their forthcoming album, "Void". Following previously released singles, the thrash-y and hectic Hellfire and the expansive, Opeth-inspired Nocturnal Hours, OnlyFangs is a near-six-minute barrage of frantic drop-tuned riffage and complex instrumental arrangements. As Mansoor and Holcomb have filmed a mind-bending playthrough in this song, features their signature Jackson So-Cal 2PT and PRS models, respectively. “OnlyFangs was one of the earlier ideas I demoed during the writing process for Void,” Holcomb says. “It was pretty different in its initial stage as a full-on, blast beat riff-fest, front to back – just non-stop. But when I brought the song to Misha he really steered it into this area where it actually breathed – it had dynamics and it took you on more of a journey, namely that big middle section that anchors the song, and that down-tuned grimy mess of an ending. “That kind of synergy between Misha and I actually highlights why it’s so much fun for us to write together in Haunted Shores and Periphery over the years.” User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
