Mike Protich (Vocals, Guitar) - Ryan Williams(Guitar) - Dave McGarry (Guitar, Vocals) - Ricky Miller(Bass, Vocals, Keys) - Pat Gerasia (Percussion). The sophomore album from Red Sun Rising, Thread begins with a slow-building but ultimately brutal track called “Fascination.”Over the course of the song—a meditation on the toxic nature of ambition—the Akron, Ohio-bred band embody both moody restraint and furious intensity, handling each with equal passion. With its dramatic shifts in tone and arrangement, “Fascination” makes for the ideal opener to Thread: an album that relentlessly defies expectation while delivering songs with deep cathartic power.
As Protich explains, the title to Thread echoes Red Sun Rising’s purposeful unpredictability, a refusal to adhere to any one genre or style. “It came from us being tired of people asking us to describe our music,” he says. “It’s our way of saying we’re not a rock band, we’re not a metal band, we’re not an alternative band—we’ve just taken all our influences and all these different eras of music, and threaded them together to create our own sound.”
