In rock & metal today, most artists either want long-term record deals with a record label, or go the fully independent route.

But in today's world where the single is key, what if there is a way to have create something new... the single song record deal?

That's where Ultra-Violence, a metal band out of Italy, could very well be leading the charge for massive change. We sit down with frontman Loris to discuss:

  • Why the band is trying out single song record contrast after being both signed to a long term record deal, & being an independent band in the past.
  • How streaming has made the single much more important than the album, along with the positives Loris sees in this new world of music.
  • Working alongside Jolly of Bad Omens on their music, and how sometimes all you need to do is ask and take a chance.
