THE SHAPE OF NU-CORE TO COME ORTHODOX are part of a new wave of bands that are leading the way on this new explosion of the alternative metal scene, something that we have already seen in the mid 90’s. Over the years the band has seen many changes, both sonically and within their lineup since their 2017 album, Sounds Of Loss, and they’ve emerged stronger than ever. We caught up with founder and singer Adam Easterling to discuss Let It Take Its Course and everything in between. 14
L
et It Take Its Course is your sophomore album, are you guys excited for this new venture or feeling the classic pressure of the sophomore effort? Releasing this sophomore album definitely has its pressures, but we are truly confident in the product we’ve made and I think we all agree that this is a true step in the right direction following Sounds of Loss.

Let It Take Its Course is your first release since 2017’s Sounds Of Loss. What has changed since then? The most notable change would be the lineup. In 2017, the band consisted of myself and Tyler Williams who has since left to join Counterparts. (No hard feelings there at all. Very proud of the work that guy has put in to get where he’s at now.) Since then Mike White joined as our full-time drummer, and we’ve gone through a few rotations while finding the right fit. The team now consists of myself, Mike White on drums, Shiloh Krebs on bass and Austin Evans on guitar. We’ve been lucky enough to have Ben Touchberryof Frost Koffin and Blaythe Steuer of Katabasis rotating in and out as our fifth guitarist.
