Posted on by

 

With the world finally opening back up, I think everyone is super excited to get back to the “regular” normal as opposed to the “new” normal.

Progressive/Tech Metal leaders Frontierer will release a documentary film, A Trail Of Noise,  filmed on tour with the band across the UK and Europe in 2019 before the Covid pandemic ended touring for over a year.

Originally a two-person bedroom project created by Scottish guitarist and primary songwriter Pedram Valiani and American vocalist Chad Kapper, the band has since grown to become a fully-fledged touring machine with bassist Calum Craig, guitarist Dan Stevenson, and drummer Owen Hughes fleshing out the current lineup. Back in June 2019, Canadian film producer Bradley Zorgdrager flew to the UK to join the masters of chaos on a three-week tour of Europe and the UK.

His love for the band’s technical metal and prowess for adventurous filming made the perfect match to capture the band in action on the high-paced tour. Watch the teaser trailer now!
