Following months of anticipation, acclaimed Canadian metalcore powerhouse ONI has revealed plans for the release of their third full-length album, The Silver Line, which will debut September 22nd from Ironshore Records.

Led by frontman Jake Oni, the band lit a match earlier this year with the release of "Silence In A Room Of Lies" (Feat. Jared Dines) and a monumental tour with Megadeth and Bullet For My Valentine, which sparked a feverish frenzy among fans. Shortly after, they added fuel to the fire with the red hot single "Underneath My Skin" (Feat. Kellin Quinn), further teasing the impending release. Now, ONI fans the flames of an inferno of excitement with full details of the new album, and their next single "Aura", that features guests Josh Gilbert (ex-AS I LAY DYING, SPIRITBOX) and Howard Jones (ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LIGHT THE TORCH).

Commenting on The Silver Line Jake Oni states:

"This album is different completely from anything I've done before. It's the new direction for ONI sonically with Josh Gilbert and me at the helm writing and Joe McQueen mixing and getting the best vocal takes from me. It's banger after banger from heavy tracks like "Cyanide" to melodic uplifting songs like "Aura" this album will have something for everyone to enjoy!"

Oni adds about "Aura":

""Aura" is a collaboration with friends. It's always great to work with Howard and Josh. It feels like this song was made a lifetime ago so I'm stoked for everyone to hear it."

ONI's most dynamic and cohesive record to date, The Silver Line, melds the band's progressive roots with contemporary metalcore, and ultimately accessible to a vast array of metal and heavy rock fans. The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by the duo of SPIRITBOX bassist Josh Gilbert and Joe McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Light The Torch, Bad Wolves) and features a plethora of guests including Jared Dines, Kellin Quinn (SLEEPING WITH SIRENS), Josh Gilbert (ex-AS I LAY DYING, SPIRITBOX), Howard Jones (ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LIGHT THE TORCH), Sueco, Justin Hill (SikTh) and Michael Lessard (THE CONTORTIONIST).

The Silver Line Tracklist:

• "Silhouette"
• "Spark" feat. Sueco
• "Underneath My Skin" feat. Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens)
• "Silence In A Room of Lies" feat. Jared Dines
• "Cyanide"
• "The Dread" feat. Justin Hill (SikTh)
• "Aura" feat. Howard Jones (Light The Torch) & Josh Gilbert (Spiritbox)
• "Armageddon" feat. Michael Lessard (The Contortionist)

Formed in 2014 by vocalist Jake Oni, ONI quickly became one of Canada's most promising bands with their distinct amalgam of experimental progressive songwriting, brute metalcore savagery and cathartic melody. The five-piece roared to life with the release of their 2016 debut album, Ironshore (Metal Blade Records), which was produced by Josh Wilbur (Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Dillinger Escape Plan) and featured guest vocals by LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe on the song "The Only Cure".

ONI followed up with a monstrous Alone EP in 2019, and returned with their second full-length, Loathing Light in 2022, that boasted guests Iggy Pop and Blythe on the song "Secrets" and "Heart To Stone", which was featured on Spotify's Best of Kickass Metal 2022 playlist.

Along their meteoric rise in the metal scene, the band has shared the stage with acts like Megadeth, Gojira, Bullet For My Valentine, Starset, Children of Bodom, Rob Zombie, Death Angel and The Devin Townsend Project.

ONI's highly-anticipated third full-length album, The Silver Line, is the most dynamic yet cohesive and focused work of powerhouse frontman Jake Oni's burgeoning career. Produced, mixed, and mastered by the duo of SPIRITBOX bassist Josh Gilbert and Joe McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Light The Torch, Bad Wolves), The Silver Line is as ambitious as it is catchy and incisive. A quick perusal of the guests featured on ONI's third album reveals the wide range of the band's appeal. "Silence In a Room of Lies" pairs ONI with YouTuber and musician Jared Dines. "Underneath My Skin" features SLEEPING WITH SIRENS frontman Kellin Quinn. "Aura" boasts Gilbert and ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE singer Howard Jones. Pop-punk-resurgence star Sueco lends his voice to "Spark".

The Silver Line ups the ante once more, adding another full-length chapter to ONI's ever-expanding songbook.
