Last year we introduced you to what soon became one of our family’s favorite band, Centerlink. A couple days don’t ever go by, where we are not cranking out Distant Voices, Hopes and Dreams or other songs from their CD, All it Takes. This is one metal band that has blown us away and with their latest release of their 3 song EP, Strength In Numbers, they have done it again. The EP brings out their sound which is reminiscent of early Metallica, Megadeth and even a side of Sex Pistols with their last song, Stronger Than Hate. They in no way imitate, instead they are blazing their own trail with their now familiar signature Centerlink sound. If you have been craving more straight up metal that is hard and heavy with fierce guitars, pounding drums and powerful melt your face vocals, then get ready to feel satisfied with Centerlink!

The new EP is available for download on their Bandcamp page here: https://centerlink.bandcamp.com/album/strength-in-numbers. We picked up our copy and I hope you download yours! If you like your rock hard and heavy and your Metal in your face, this is the band for you! After listening to them, you will have a hard time believing that the great music comes from just three guys…. A Power Metal Trio that can rival many metal bands today, surprisingly these guys come from Boston, Massachusetts. I wasn’t expecting that either. They have a sound of their own but you can feel their influences of anything from Metallica, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Anthrax, and so much more! I know you may be thinking I am building them up, but seriously they deliver the goods!

Check out their video for their song, “Distant Voices”. This is the song that I first heard of theirs and believe me, it just keeps getting better and better.

Here is some information from our previous post about Centerlink back in 2013.

Centerlink is Parky on guitars and vocals, Billy K on bass and Jon on drums. We contacted them immediately to find out more about them and how they started. Parky told us, “Centerlink first started back in late 2005. Jon and I have been friends since we were both 14 years old and in 2005 with the passing of Jon’s mom Jon and I got together. I was recording music on a pc using software and Jon had an electronic drum set so he wanted me to show him how to record. So next thing you know we were collaborating. Jon then got in contact with an old friend of his that played bass in a band they were we in. So entered Billy, which he had some songs already recorded and we just started moving from there.”

This band is from Boston where as Parky told us, “There is not a good metal scene from where we are from. We are from south of Boston and there is no real metal scene there. If you want to play metal music or catch a metal show you are headed out towards the Worcester are along with southern New Hampshire, Maine and Northern Connecticut”

They currently have a CD titled, “All it Takes” that is going to be a must have for all of you. This one is going to be on replay for quite a while, believe me, I LOVE IT! Hard and Heavy with energy and clean driven sound. You can get their CD on Bandcamp as well as their shirts.

I asked Parky about what they are currently working on and he told us, “We are currently working on doing our next video for the song Withered and we are also working on new material for a new album. We are also friends with Eddie Halford aka Bone Digger Halford and could possibly be working with him in the future. He is Rob Halford’s cousin.” That will be no surprise of them getting the attention of Eddie, they really are incredible and a band you will be hearing a lot more of. As far as airplay, they are currently played (for the moment) on independent internet radio such as metalnation.com and indie365radio.com. It will not be long before we hear them on Octane, Sixx Sense and radio stations everywhere.

Lastly, I asked Parky about what bands would they be interested in touring with and they said, Korn or Anthrax. I think that would be quite a show and we top it off with Device!. We need to get these guys out on the road so let’s all make some calls and make this happen.

Make sure to head over and buy their CD, and you can also listen to more of them on Reverbnation. This is one band, you cannot pass up listening to. In our house, our family is into all styles of rock and roll and metal and tonight we all came together and head banged to Centerlink, even 6 year old Brandon had his fists in the air! Now that has not happened in a very, very long time!
