DENVER - Industry insiders describe it as a cross between Queensryche
and Styx with a hard rock core; Follow No One brings back the classic
and hard rock sounds that defined an era while adding their unique
twist on the genre.
Named as Best Rock Act
in 2019 at the Nashville-based JMA Awards, the next step for Follow
No One is the Grammys. After listening to their industry-rocking
latest project, it is clear the duo needs to make room on the award’s
mantle for more hardware.
Follow No One is
comprised of two industry leaders, Pedro Murino Almeida and Rich
Hall. A Portuguese native, Almeida is a classically trained composer
and guitar virtuoso who works in film and video and found success in
his musical acts. Lead singer Hall is an American-born
singer/songwriter who made his mark in the theater at a young age and
discovered his powerfully melodic vocals match perfectly with rock.
Together, Follow No One
is changing today’s rock industry with their sound void of 90s
grunge and screaming vocals. Instead, they incorporate the most
significant elements of rock’s past and present into an exciting
brand of rock music that spans generations.
Follow No One is paving
their own lane as their name states, evident in their upcoming album,
“Fate.” Written, performed, and produced by the duo, “Fate”
is a heavy rock album that transitions into melodic rock and
concludes with an epic finale.
While many artists
release albums, “Fate” is a 17-track industry game-changer.
As a cinematic hard
rock concept album, “Fate” takes listeners on the true-life story
of Hall. As a husband, father, Army war veteran, and corporate
executive, he went from a man who appeared to have it all. Suddenly,
he lost it all. From Hall’s deathbed to reclaiming his life, “Fate”
chronicles his journey.
While “Fate,” the
album is scheduled to drop on all streaming platforms on May 13. Each
track is stylistically and tempo-driven, employing different
techniques to give the album its unique feel. The plot flows as the
music adds drama and emphasis to each lyric from track to track.
Ensuring that listeners comprehend the story, Follow No One adds
audio scenes and flashbacks to envelop listeners into the storyline.
Currently, Follow No
One is giving fans a little taste of “Fate” in its preview video
streaming on YouTube. Like a movie trailer, the video is a must-see,
in-your-face teaser.
Dropping on April 8,
the self-titled single “Fate” is a rhetorical song that prompts
fans to reflect on their lives. Relating to listeners like only he
can, Hall poses the question: Was it fate all along or something we
created? We didn’t end up together, but was it because it was fate,
or did we just screw things up.”
Hall adds that fans can
join their mailing list for the inside scoop on happenings and music
releases with more surprises on the way before the album releases. A
quick visit to the group’s website provides insider information and
the signup details.
Follow No One is not a
rock throwback group. They incorporate the greatest elements of rock
n roll’s past and present into an authentic new brand of rock that
blends jaw-dropping guitar work and distinct vocal stylings.
