Chains Over Razors: Redefining Heavy Metal

Chains Over Razors is not interested in following the traditional rulebook of heavy metal. Formed by twin brothers Mikey V. and Andy V. alongside vocalist William Mullen, the three piece has built its identity around unpredictable arrangements, powerful melodies, and grooves that push the boundaries of what a metal band can sound like.
The group first came together after the musicians crossed paths in a recording studio and discovered a shared passion for music. What began as a conversation about their craft quickly developed into a band determined to approach heavy music from a different perspective.
Their sound has earned descriptions ranging from edgy and twisted to downright ruthless. Rather than relying solely on heaviness, Chains Over Razors combines aggression with melody and intricate musical arrangements, creating a sound that feels both unconventional and immediately engaging.
The band's latest album also attracted the attention of legendary rocker Carmine Appice, who came on board as executive producer. His involvement helped guide the group as they continued developing their sound and expanding their ambitions.
Rock journalist and author Michael Aronovitz has praised the band's willingness to challenge convention, noting that Chains Over Razors pushes the envelope and throws away the traditional rules of rock and metal.
With three musicians creating a sound bigger than their lineup suggests, Chains Over Razors continues to prove that heavy metal does not need to stay inside the lines. Their music is built around experimentation, intensity, and the freedom to make something that sounds like nobody else.
