Breaking Serenity [2024]
Breaking Serenity Brings Self-Inflicted Fest to Southern California
In Southern California, metal is taking hold of new generations of fans with flavorful instrumentation and dynamic vocals. Metalcore, alternative metal, and hardcore are some of the subgenres with the most listeners, and these fans seem more likely to dip into a diverse range of metal. Breaking Serenity offers a seductive blend of style that marries nu metal and hardcore.
Evolution of More Than A Decade
Breaking Serenity has evolved over the past decade, and Niko Garcia remains a founder and the last original member. The band has shed its skin and is embracing new blood, welcoming Antonio Gonzalez, Jackie Agramonte, Chris Anguiano, and Mark Holguin as the latest members to forge a new path for the band.
But these changes aren’t just about the lineup but also the sound. Breaking Serenity’s music often portrays emotion and intensity through its instrumentation and meticulously crafted lyrics, helping the listener relate to the intent of each track. Tracks like “Hypocrite,” featuring the vocals of Jackie Agramonte, convey the frustration and anger felt during failing relationships. While “Everlasting” beautifully blends vulnerability with the intensity of the vocals of Antonio Gonzalez and Chris Anguiano. Setting Breaking Serenity further apart is the lore of “Serenity,” a graphic novel comic book created by the band and brought to life with the stories within Breaking’s lyrics, often carrying elements of redemption and resilience.
Serenity’s Paracosm
Serenity is a young woman coping with the chaos of childhood trauma that has led to her development of a dissociative disorder. Serenity’s journey, born from the depths of trauma and manifested in a paracosm of her own making, mirrors the struggles we all face, offering solace and catharsis in the face of adversity. In Breaking Serenity’s universe, the lines between art and reality blur, leaving us with a profound understanding of the human condition and a soundtrack to navigate its complexities.
Self-Inflicted Fest and Music Video Debut
Over the last year, Breaking Serentiy has built an incredible community for metal artists and fans with the founding of Self-Inflicted Fest, named after one of their singles from their Letter From A Pandemic album [2023]. The metal festival has featured a variety of metalcore, alternative metal, and hardcore bands (list bands here). After the second successful Self-Inflicted Fest, Breaking was invited to open for Powerman 5000 at Mike Z’s 20th Anniversary Bash hosted by 96.7 FM KCAL Rocks of the Inland Empire.
