Title: A Searing Encounter with I Prevail: The Face of Modern Metalcore
Today, we turn our spotlight on I Prevail, a band that has consistently garnered attention in the metal and metalcore music scene, significantly influencing the genre with their heart-pounding rhythms and emotive lyricism.
Formed in Southfield, Michigan, in 2013, I Prevail began their musical journey when band members Brian Burkheiser (vocals), Eric Vanlerberghe (vocals), Steve Menoian (lead guitar), Jordan Berger (rhythm guitar), Dylan Bowman (bass/backing vocals), and Lee Runestad (drums) decided to unite their love for heavy music.
Quick to capture the music scene's attention, I Prevail's cover of Taylor Swift’s "Blank Space" shortly after their formation shone an unexpected spotlight on them, affirming their unique approach to music and their knack for thwarting predictability.
Their debut EP, "Heart vs. Mind," was released in 2014 and ravished the music industry with its intricacies and adrenaline-filled sound. "Lifelines," the band’s first full-length album released in 2016, boasted a gold-certified single, "Scars," which catapulted I Prevail to new heights of success in the music scene. Not forgetting their roots, they have consistently ensured that their music is as emotionally evocative as it is mosh pit-worthy.
The band faced an unexpected transition when Brian Burkheiser suffered a career-threatening vocal injury which led to a brief hiatus. This period gave birth to the creation of the deeply personal "Trauma" album in 2019. This album echoed the trials they faced, demonstrating their resilience and commitment to evolution – proving their dedication to strike back challenging times and translate visceral experience into music.
Despite the lineup change in 2016 with the departure of Lee Runestad and Jordan Berger paving the way for Gabe Helguera (drums) and Eli Clark (bass), the band has maintained its unique charm. Marked by their explosive energy, raw power, and ability to seamlessly blend metalcore with pop sensibilities, I Prevail has never ceased captivating fans.
In a sea of metal bands, I Prevail stands as a beacon. They were nominated for two Grammy Awards in 2020, a clear testament to their consistent delivery of high-energy performances and their unwavering dedication to their craft. Brushing off the stigma often associated with heavy music, the band has proven that headbanging anthems can also hold depth and emotional resonance, creating a masterful blend of melody and metallic might.
To date, they have made a significant impact on the rock music charts while staying true to their roots. There's no denying that I Prevail has emerged not just as a band, but as a force to be reckoned with, and they show no signs of slowing down.
Get ready to rock out and experience the raw emotional energy that is I Prevail, a band that continues to redefine the boundaries of what metal and metalcore music can be – emotionally cathartic, boundary-pushing, and above all, relentlessly powerful.
