Having met each other through the Chicago-area music scene,the members of Rooks formed in 2009. Ever since then, they have been quickly making a name for themselves among metal fans with their unique sound. They have risen above the typical “metal band” stereotypes by bringing a new genre to the table through the use of abstract time signatures. Rooks creatively fuses rhythmic metal and hardcore in order to create a sound that provides an intense experience for listeners. The music is easy to listen to, yet somewhat difficult to grasp.
Following the release of their successful debut EP, + x – (Addition by Subtraction), which was self-produced and released by the band, Rooks has been playing shows throughout the Midwest. Never a band to slow down, Rooks is already back in the studio working on their second EP, and will begin playing shows across the country in the coming months.
