Technical progressive metal band ONI's new album "Ironshore," is out Nov. 25 via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. 

You can order the album now via metalblade.com/oni and/or stream it via Spotify beginning Nov. 25.

ONI vocalist Jake Oni said, "Whether you've been around since the beginning or you're just finding out about us, thank you for taking the time to listen to our debut full-length record, Ironshore. We put a lot of hard work into it and hope you enjoy listening to it."

Ironshore takes listeners on an absorbing ride that provides ample opportunity for head-banging, singing along and deep introspection. 

Check out ONI's first music video for the single "Eternal Recurrence," and also watch the band's superhuman Xylosynth playthrough for the track "Barn Burner" here.

"ONI is a band that labels itself progressive metal and actually upholds the promise."

- Metal Injection

"...frontman Jake Oni's voice is stunning. His cleans soar with the best of them, and his growls are as brutal as any death metal band."­

- All About The Rock

"'Ironshore' by ONI is fire. Period. The strength of this album lies in its insane rhythm sections, which create the perfect atmosphere for some killer lead sections."

- MetalWani

"Canada's ONI integrate corrosive death metal vocals within a framework of proggy tech-metal..."

- Revolver Magazine

"These guys are metal to the core."

- Press Pass LA

Ironshore was produced by Josh Wilbur, primarily recognized for his work with top metal artists Lamb Of God and Gojira. 

Through this connection, ONI was able to reach out to Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe, who contributed his inimitable style to "The Only Cure" - one of Ironshore's heaviest moments.

With their influences rooted in progressive metal, ONI's sound can be compared to the genre's heavy hitters - The Human Abstract, Protest The Hero and Between The Buried And Me - yet they remain truly unique. 

With Jake Oni handling vocal duties, Martin Andres and Brandon White on guitar, Chase Bryant on bass and Joe Greulich on drums, they are also perhaps the first metal band to feature a Xylosynth player, Johnny D, which adds an intriguing dynamic to the nine tracks found on Ironshore.

ONI is about to head out with the I Worship Chaos Tour, featuring headliners Children of Bodom and fellow special guests Abbath and Exmortus. The band will then join Devil You Know in the UK in January. See below for all current international tour dates:
