We are Chasing Titans – an alternative metalcore band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. We seamlessly blend elements of electronica and hip-hop into our heavier music, resulting in a distinctive and cohesive sound. At our band's core, the three of us are lovers of a myriad of music genres that have profoundly impacted and empowered our lives.

When we formed in 2018, our aspiration was to create music that not only constructs a massive surge of energy during our live performances but also weaves an emotional resonance that can deeply connect with each individual present, irrespective of whether they identify as a metalhead, a hip-hop enthusiast, or an electronica aficionado.

For the very first time in our musical career, we find ourselves presented with the remarkable opportunity to record our debut full-length album within a professional studio environment. This milestone will be expertly guided by our producer, Aidan Courtnell (Scallywag Records). To turn this ambitious goal into reality, we are reaching out to you, seeking your support to bring our vision to life!

 

Five years ago, the three of us crossed paths within the cozy confines of a small bar in Auckland. During that fateful meeting, we engaged in lengthy conversations, passionately discussing the hopes and aspirations we held for our musical dreams. We envisioned a unique approach to our live performances, one that would immerse us in the audience's experience and dismantle the barrier between the artist and the crowd.

Chasing Titans emerged as the propelling force that drove us toward the realization of many of these cherished dreams and goals. Moreover, it led us to achieve milestones that once seemed beyond our reach, even beyond our own estimations. Our journey initially commenced within the heart of Auckland, where we took to the stages of intimate dive bars and clandestine underground venues. As time progressed, our reach extended beyond the city's borders, encompassing other prominent locales in the North Island of New Zealand like Tauranga, Hamilton, and New Plymouth.

 

 
 

 

Since we began performing live shows, we established a resolute goal: to record, publish, and share our music with the world. We are thrilled to announce that this dream has become a reality, and we released our debut EP in December 2022. This EP comprises three singles, currently available for streaming on all major platforms.

Both of our first two singles received prominent airtime on radio stations and media outlets across the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia, and Mexico. Our initial single, "Cabin Fever," even reached an impressive peak position of number 3 on the Top 10 list of Valley FM (Australia). The success of our EP has garnered significant recognition, leading us to secure a distribution deal with the esteemed European label, Sliptrick Records.

As we look ahead, our upcoming album is set to be an evolution of our EP, showcasing our distinctive heavy tones seamlessly fused with elements of hip-hop and electronica. This fusion will create a sound that is uniquely and unmistakably Chasing Titans. Rest assured, you're bound to fall in love with this album. Just like our electrifying live performances, regardless of your preferred music genre, the infectious harmonies and emotionally charged lyrics will establish a profound connection to our energy, resonating from the very first track to the last.

The Impact

 

From November to December 2023, we have a scheduled plan to enter the studio and commence the recording of this album with our producer. We are exceptionally thrilled about reaching this special milestone, which will occur right after our campaign. Our intention is to capture the exhilarating behind-the-scenes process of creating this record and share it with our fans and supporters through our social media and official channels. This way, you too can gain insight into the intricate details of its production.

In many aspects, this album revolves around the concept of pushing the boundaries that currently define heavy music. It aims to introduce innovative ways of merging different genres together in fresh and emotionally evocative manners. This endeavor serves as our means of giving back to the music world, reciprocating the incredible life-altering experiences it has bestowed upon us. Moreover, it involves crafting a genuinely distinctive sound that broadens the current musical landscape of today's modern music scene.

Our forthcoming songs will channel elements of metalcore, thrash metal, electronica, EDM, shoegaze, and psychedelic rock. These elements will be seamlessly integrated with high-energy hip-hop and rap, resulting in an album that is a must-listen for boosting your spirits before a big night out, energizing your afternoon drive home from work with headbanging beats, serving as the fiery centerpiece of your house party, and acting as your sonic motivation to push harder and release pent-up energy at the gym.

“The reputation CHASING TITANS has built needs no further explanation; they have potential that has yet to be taken advantage of. For a new band to be the only heavy sound gracing the charts is a feat on its own.” – Metal Temple

“A requirement for you to put it in your playlist!” – Moosic Entertainment

 

We are aiming to complete our campaign on November 1, 2023. Support us today!
