The band gave fans a first listen of As The Sun Sleeps a day before its release on Huffington Post. The debut album – which is officially available in stores and online via Steamhammer/SPV – is streaming now, HERE.
Earlier this year, the band premiered their first ever music video for lead single “Feed The Fire”
Since the release, the supergroup has garnered much attention from fans and critics alike, leading them to a strong victory in Loudwire‘s ‘Most Anticipated Release of March’ poll. The band was able to overcome some major competition from Body Count, Art of Anarchy, Mastodon, Bush to name a few.
Additionally, the band performed at the first annual kilPOP Awards alongside Five Finger Death Punch and has been featured in AntiHero Magazine, AXS, Cryptic Rock, Metal Insider, Pure Grain Audio, Tattoo.com, Team Rock, and many more.
It may sound trite, but Invidia is truly a brotherhood. Each member of this brotherhood has a story that reflects the quote above. When they came together to make As The Sun Sleeps, they knew just what they didn’t want and how far they were willing to go to make it work on their terms.
Vocalist, Travis Johnson has been a bassist with the band In This Moment for years. His devotion to music and lack of limitations on himself brought about the desire to sing. He had tried his hand at lead vocals with other groups, but when Guitarist Brian Jackson – formerly of Skinlab and producer Logan Mader (Once Human, Machine Head) came calling, he knew that the material they were putting together was an unmissable opportunity. Brian was between SKINLAB records and the material he was writing started going in a different direction. Calling upon his friend Travis to collaborate, the pair wrote 3 songs in 3 days. Fulfilling their promise to work together, they brought their material to Logan upon his return from tour to enhance what they already had. As Brian, Travis and Logan were tracking, Bassist, Matt Snell (ex member of Five Finger Death Punch), asked them who was going to play bass for the group. “You” said Travis, who had been in a band called Flatline with Matt. Matt brought with him a drummer who had been a local friend in Sparks, NV. With a drumline background, Darren Badorine proved himself with the group.
Each of the members of Invidia have had obstacles to surmount… have been hit hard by elements of life in the world of music. Travis applied his love of Rocky movies to the band’s story. “I’m big on the underdog succeeding – on the fact that you are never out of the game… never too far from winning.” he explained. Coming together showed them that moving forward didn’t have to be so hard – because they would do it together.
