Rising metalcore act SHEORU, with members hailing from Philadelphia, Boston, and Richmond, releases their second EP, Vantage, today, January 23, 2025. The seven-track EP includes the singles “HOOK//LINE//SINK,” (https://music.sheoru.com/hooklinesink) which marked a bold introduction of the band’s new lineup, and “Ruin,” (https://music.sheoru.com/ruin) a showcase of their ability to craft soaring, captivating melodies. “HOOK//LINE//SINK” and “Ruin” were introductory singles released respectively on August 16, 2024 and October 10, 2024. The title track, “Vantage,” is accompanied by a music video that premieres (https://youtu.be/qKmOa5YXGTA) on BVTV in conjunction with the EP’s release.
Reflecting on the band’s evolution, guitarist Danny Chu remarks, “When we released Forever Sleep in 2022, we were surprised by the reception we received given the short time we’d worked on it. I knew deep down there was so much more we wanted to say and other forms of musical expression we wanted to put forth. When times were unsure, Thalia, Nick and Tanner’s paths converged with ours.
The lineup change came with its own anxieties, but once we got into the writer’s room, I knew this was it. This is what Zev, Tim and I started SHEORU to be and I hope that comes across in the music.”
Working diligently since their last release in 2022 and undergoing lineup changes, SHEORU began a journey of rediscovery, adding new members who have injected a fresh energy and perspective to the band’s sound. With the addition of singer Thalia Tymowski, bassist Nick Thorpe, and drummer Tanner Lively, the band has pushed their creative boundaries and refined their explosive, melodic style, amplifying the raw emotion behind Vantage.
“Writing the Vantage EP was such a relief to me,” reflects Thalia. “It was my first time writing with SHEORU and immediately we all spoke the same language of expression. I think that comes across in the storytelling of this EP. I wrote these songs out of order and yet when they were ordered on the EP the story that I was trying to tell ended up coming full circle.”
Original drummer Zev Rose (Spiritbox) has transitioned to the role of producer, while Lance Prenc (Alpha Wolf, Polaris) returns to mix and master the EP. Together, they have crafted a collection of songs that captures the struggle to break free from a toxic cycle, torn between holding on, letting go, and questioning what remains when it all falls apart.
“Vantage will always hold a special place in all of our hearts I think because it was full of a lot of firsts for us as a band,” the band shares. “It showed us how much magic we can make when we come together in the writing room, and I know we are all excited to see where that takes us moving forward.”
