We are here today with ABOVE THIS, a Metal Core/Death Core band born in Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Their last album “7L7”, released in August, is enjoying a great success. Even in the web, the reviews and comments from listeners of this music genre seem to be positive. But now we try to know ABOVE THIS more closely, and let’s see what band’s vocalist, Shawn O’Brien, has to say…
1. Hello Shawn! I’m Sylvi from Metal Shock Finland. Happy to do this interview with you .. lets start from the origins: How did you meet and how you decided to form a band?
I met Thomas Buser onlone about a year ago, it was on youtube after i had been viewing some of his instrumental tracks that he has posted up. I hit him up and he agreed to work with me on a sample project so that i could try my vocals out with his music. Little before we knew it, we had a band going.
2. Do you guys get along well?
Me and Thomas have a relationship that is hard to explain. We know how to work to get things done and get our music out there in a record time. But the fact that i live in the U.S and he lives in Germany, changes the relationship factor because i have never met him in person. But as for conversation and friendship i feel that if we ever did meet in person, i’m sure we would get along like brothers.

TEAM ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC has issued the following:
TEAM ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC is proud to announce Progressive/Tech Metallers ABOVE THIS to its roster under the PR umbrella. Born with the desire to create some of the heaviest music on the planet known to man while adding a unique twist, ABOVE THIS’s latest release 7L7 blows minds with its signature brutality.
With the ability to capture anyone on a first impression, the band’s monster riffs mixed with lyrics that deliver a message of real life situations give the listener the chance to both violently headbang and have plenty of substance to ponder. With tight technical/progressive metal riffing, memorable punchlines, absolutely CRUSHING breakdowns, a mean swagger, and the gnarliest bass drops (prepare your subwoofer!) you’ll hear, ABOVE THIS sticks out amongst the others in this oversaturated metal scene of progressive/djent wannabes. ABOVE THIS are incredibly catchy from song to song on 7L7 without a filler song to be found – be forewarned!
ABOVE THIS stands for all of the misjudgments, cruel treatment, rejection, hatred, depression, hurt, and emotion that can revolve around anyone’s lives, and the goal is to make sure you stand above your fears.
