Everfelt

Trippy, Heavy….100% Illinois! 

If you’re from Illinois and you haven’t heard Everfelt yet… you’re missing out on one of the most phenomenal bands coming out of Southern Illinois right now.

Everfelt isn’t just a band you listen to. They’re a band you fall into. The best way I can describe their sound is like being on mushrooms… but in rock music form. It’s dreamy, heavy, hypnotic, and the kind of music that makes you get lost inside a song without even realizing it.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Everfelt live more than once, and every time they prove they’re not just talented, they’re AWESOME. 

And to be honest, they’ve also been one of the most supportive and consistent bands in my world. When I asked them why they’ve rocked with me the way they have, their answer was simple and real:

“Since day one you were always real and very supportive of our sound and you truly cared for us as artist and people!”

Everfelt represents Illinois proudly, but they also keep it honest about what that comes with. While they love that they all found each other here (with Adam originally being from Florida), they said the hardest part is something most original bands know too well:

“Attempting to book shows playing original music unfortunately.”

If you’re new to Everfelt and don’t know where to start, they gave a few perfect songs that show exactly what they do best. From their EP they recommend “Reach,” and from their album they say “Tombstone” or “Silhouette” are the best hooks.

“They are truly captivating in their melody and style.”

Reach is my #1 (babie) 

Of course, no real band story is complete without a little crazy story . When I asked what the most unhinged thing that’s happened to them at a show was, they didn’t even hesitate.

“Momo our bass player and I almost got taken by a river coming back from a show in St Louis… the water was above the windshield.”

As for their creative process, Everfelt is very much a riff-first band. They explained that most of the time it starts with the guitar, then they freestyle and channel the rest from there until the song becomes what it’s meant to be.

Corey is one of the best guitarists ive ever met! 

And if you’re wondering what the band dynamic looks like behind the scenes, they kept it hilarious and accurate. The “dad” of the group is Danny or Corey, and the one most likely to get them banned from a venue?

“Momo… and honestly both Momo and myself (Adam) are kinda wild!”

But what really matters is …Everfelt is exactly who you hope they are when you meet them.

“We are super down to earth and care more about the connections and the music than anything else.” 

And when it comes to dream opportunities, their influences show just how wide their musical world is. Everfelt said they’d love to open for legends like Alice In Chains (Staley era), Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots (Weiland era), or heavy hitters like Godsmack, Korn, and Disturbed.

Lastly, they teased what’s coming next and it’s something fans should absolutely be watching for. Their most recent song is titled “Becoming,” and it’s set to release toward the end of this year on their sophomore album 

Nematocyst.

And until then, their newest track off the debut album is “Sludge,” which they said they finished writing only days before recording.

If you have never see  Everfelt live, you’re missing OUT. 

Thier music gets inside you, the room disappears, and you realize you’re not just listening anymore…

you’re feeling it take over.

And Babie’s been telling y’all.

 Babie is BACK and im coming in HOTTER  than Ever.

Out of So. Illinois, EverFelt is an American psychedelic groove metal band, founded in the summer of 2022, and they have a new record, 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘰 𝘞𝘢𝘬𝘦, set to drop next week December the 15th. With musical influences that range from Alice N Chains and Audioslave to Pink Floyd and Slayer, the resulting sound amalgamation is nothing short of darkness personified. A style consisting of a harmonic driving force of psychedelic sounds with ominous metal undertones it often has my memory wandering back to bands like Danzig and Type O Negative. It channels the haze, the heaviness, and the hooks into something that doesn’t just sit in your ears, it bores into your brain. When they first sent it to me, I listened with head cocked like a curious German Sheppard. Unique to be sure, something kept me coming back, and somewhere between the second and third spin, it began to sink in, and before I knew it, I found myself here at the keyboard tapping away. Coming off a holiday week, I am going to get right to the point on this one, so lets get into it.

My first standout track is 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑. It’s ominous start puts you on notice. It almost has a wicked feel to it. For some reason, the chanty low key vocals at the beginning remind me of Maiden’s song, Hallowed By Thy Name. I can just hear it, “the sands of time for me are running looooooowww.” I hope that’s taken as a compliment, because it is Adam’s favorite song on the record. He told me it captures their psychedelic metal sound more than any of the other songs. Lyrically it is about the real you being the stranger within, not the outward you. He said he loves that philosophical concept. In my mind, akin to all of us wearing a mask we show to the outside world, keeping our true identity hidden. 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 is another of my favorites. I like the tempered guitar and drumline at the beginning. When I compared to Danzig, this is one of the songs I think of, with the almost Powwow feel of the vocals. It just gives me a chanty feel right up until he lets loose with those Danzig howls. Powerful. 𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐂𝐇 𝟏 is my final standout and is the one that gives me the Type O feels. I don’t know if it’s that wet guitar, or the pitch of the vocals, but whatever it is I can hear “black black black #1” in the back of my mind every time it comes on.

All that being what it is, there has to be something I don’t like about this record, right? Certainly, it’s not all tiddies and beer? No, sadly it is not. I could never get on board with 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎. Fifty-seven seconds I could really do without if I am being honest. The first few times I listened to it I couldn’t help but think someone found a thesaurus and set about trying to purposely overcomplicate what should be a simple statement. The thought kept coming to mind, never use a big word, when a nanoscopic miniscule one will do. Not a fan of verbal intros to begin with, after the first couple of times I began to skip it.

So, there you have it, 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘰 𝘞𝘢𝘬𝘦 according to me. As the band puts it, music is the cornerstone of their existence, and with this release they aim to etch their energy permanently into the minds of anyone willing to take the trip. If you ask me, goal achieved. EverFelt is ready to rise, ready to shake the dust off the scene, and ready to pull listeners into their world. Is it a perfect 5 out of 5 horns? Maybe not, but I do like this record, and 3 standouts ain’t no joke. It can be hard trying to gauge the quality of the record itself, knowing these smaller bands don’t have the budget to compete, but all in all the sonics are pretty solid, and even with the aforementioned disdain for  𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎, with a horn for each standout and another half for being unique in a copycat industry, I think I could make the case for a 3.5, so that is where I will stop and make my stand today. We put up a couple tracks here over the weekend, and added some to our Spotify playlist as well, so no matter how you do it, get these guys in your earholes and let me know what you think.

THE JUGGERNAUT JOURNAL

Our Featured Interview with: 

Adam Steglich of EVERFELT

Introduction Bio:

EverFelt is an American hard rock band infused with psychedelic metal. Founded in the summer of 2022 by Vocalist Adam Steglich and Lead Guitarist Corey Robinson. 

We have newcomers on Bass Ryan Moore and on Percussion Danny Furlong. Our musical influences vary from STP, Alice 'N' Chains and Tool, to CCR and Pink Floyd. Our style brings a harmonic driving force of psychedelic sounds and dark melodic metal undertones that leaves the listener wanting even more. 

Music literally is the cornerstone of our existence and we are so honored and eternally grateful to etch our sound into the minds of those who will listen.

Interview Q&A:

Q: If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be and why?

Adam: "Their are a few things that we would change but the one thing we would change the most is getting rid of "The Gatekeepers" and "The Vultures" that feed on the music and the bands rather than actually helping them get their music out to the world!"

Q: How did your band get its beginning and how did it get its name?

Adam: "We began in the summer of 2022 When Corey our guitarist and myself Adam the vocalist and writer met at our former drummers practice spot in Southern Illinois! 

Our band name is derived from my best friend Charles Lingerfelt who passed away in 2021 from cancer and the name ever felt was born from the desire to want him to be forever felt in the music that we do moving forward!! 

With his last name being Lingerfelt and our former project before he passed being Angerfelt we thought it only fitting."

Q: If you write the music for your band's songs, what inspirations do you draw from to help create them? If not, then what do you help contribute to each new song created?

Adam: "I personally write the lyrics and rhythm patterns and also have some say in the musical composition and we are greatly influenced by many different musical acts but more than anything we allow the music to happen to us, becoming the channel for the Psychedelic Groove Metal!"

Q: Where and who do you get your musical inspiration from?

Adam: "Our musical inspiration is derived from many influences including but not limited too...

Chris Cornell - Layne Staley - John Davis - Maynard - David Gilmore - The Doors - Slayer - Buddy Rich - Type O Negative - Seether - STP

- Mudvayne...and many many more I'm not recalling at the moment. Lol"

Q: Who are some of your favorite musicians and what (if anything) did you learn from them that helped improve your performance?

Adam: "Our favorite musicians and performances are listed above in the question before this one and the greatest thing we have learned from those who came before us is to never give up and to always stay true to yourself in the music!"

Q: What future goals do you have for the band? 

What events or festivals do you hope to play and what do you aim to achieve in the music industry?

Adam: "We just recently played our 45th show since forming in 2022 and we are about to release our first album this winter 'Stirring To Wake' and we would love to play "Louder Than Life" Rockfest Inkcarceration... our main goal is to get our music to the masses on a grand scale and hopefully in the next 3 or 4 years play arenas and stadiums. 

We would also love to book a mini tour across the United States and we are looking to hopefully do that next year!"

Q: How do you want your image and your band's image to be perceived?

Adam: "More than anything we want to be perceived as hard-working musicians who care about the music they create, the message that they send out to the world, and want nothing more than to make an impact in a positive way on those who get a chance to hear our music! 

After that we want to be remembered as all original psychedelic metal groove band that brings a sound all our own!"

Q: If the opportunity arose, who would you want to collaborate with on a song together!?

Adam: "Godsmack, Korn or Tool...A Perfect Circle and Seether."

Q9: What's your greatest accomplishment to date!?

Adam: "Our greatest accomplishment today would have to be the EP we released last year which has almost 130,000 streams and after that would be that we have done everything DIY and are a very grateful that we get the opportunity to play the music we love in front of people who hopefully dig our music as well!"

Q: What should fans expect to experience at your show?

Adam: "Fans who come to one of our live shows should fully expect an immersive experience into the psychedelic soundscape that is us!! Seriously be prepared to transcend into the ether and become enraptured by the music!"

Do you have any final words to the audience?

"We all have a purpose as to why we have been given this gift called life and it lies in whatever you are most passionate about. 

Our hope is that through the passion and the love and the energy we put into our music we can hopefully inspire all of you to go after that one thing that makes you so passionate, that one thing that gives you reason beyond everything else here on this Earth! 

Music is the greatest language of the soul and I think it reminds us that the most important thing in this life is that we are eternal souls gifted with mortal life, and a purpose greater than ourselves!" 

*JUGGERNAUT Input:

Thanks Adam, that was truly an amazing & insightful interview you gave us for The Juggernaut Journal. 

I love reading each band's interviews I do after completing all the editing parts first, before I do my "Input" section - so that I can speak on things that stand out to me from what I've just read (you know, while it's still hot-n-fresh in my mind)...and with that being said, from question #1 - I loved learning what Adam would like to change about the music industry, and I have a personal insight into what he means there. 

On question #2 - I was kind of taken aback on how the band got started and how it got it's name...that was a truly honorable thing they did for their dear friend's memory - to make him "EverFelt" in  their name & music! Damn brother... that was so deep. Mad respect there from me!  

On question #6 - about the band's future goals...I can dig that drive & passion that they have deep inside them, and I think JUGGERNAUT Promotions will be able to help to bring them bigger & stronger market exposure through our advertising power AND our dynamite affiliates (whom the band is basically connected with most already). 

I just finished listening to their entire new album, and I can feel their musical influences thriving in their new album. It's truly an awesome piece of work that this band should be very proud of serving to the community at their upcoming shows, and on all streaming platforms. In addition - the band has also graciously accepted my invitation to become their NEW official sponsor, too...and that's what truly rocks, America! 🤘

EVERFELT - 'STIRRING TO WAKE' 

(A JUGGERNAUT Promotions official music review)

EverFelt Bio: 

"We are an American psychedelic groove metal band from Murphysboro IL, founded in the summer of 2022. Our band's lineup includes vocalist/lyricist Adam Steglich, rhythm/lead guitarist Corey Robinson, Ryan Moore on Rhythm Bass, Percussion Danny Furlong. 

Our musical influences vary from Alice 'N' Chains and Audioslave to Pink Floyd and Slayer. Our style brings a harmonic driving force of psychedelic sounds and dark melodic metal undertones that leaves the listener wanting even more. 

Music literally is the cornerstone of our existence and we are so honored and eternally grateful to etch our sound into the minds of those who will listen."

JUGGERNAUT Intro:

So Adam Steglich asked JUGGERNAUT Promotions to check out their new album about to be released on December 15th and do a review on a few of their songs - "Medicated", "Silhouette" and "Sludge". 

Now truth be told, JUGGERNAUT has never had the pleasure yet of checking out this band's music or style of sound before, and I have never worked with them in the past, either...so when I listened to their selected songs on their advanced demo copy of the album - it would be MY first impressions on hearing them that I will be describing here to the audience...meaning, I will be speaking on how it makes me feel, and what draws me into the song upon my first impressions.

That being said, here we go...

"Medicated" - I love that reverb intro sound at the beginning, and the old school 70's hard rock vibe of the song! Great riffs and a dynamite guitar solo, too. However, it's the drummer that truly rocks on this song...because they lead that rhythmic beat for the band. So in my opinion, this is definitely a killer song that I'd pump in my car on my way to work...hell yeah! 

"Silhouette" - Nice intro at the beginning with the rain leading into a deep drum beat. I can't put my finger on it, but in a way this song reminds me of Godsmack's "Voodoo", with the drum beat in the background to the vocals. It's really sorta hypnotizing with the sway of the guitars and the vocals...and speaking of that, I love the singer's voice on this one...he's so dynamic with his vocal pitch delivery! Yeah, I can see this one being a hit for stoners out there...because it has a captivating psychedelic vibe to it! 

"Sludge" - Oh wow...what a huge intro to this song! Smacks you right upside the head...I love that shit! Killer drum beat, groovy draw on the guitar riffs...man, these EverFelt guys really rock! Damn it - that beat is so awesome. I could truly see this being included as a song of an action movie soundtrack for a heavy hitter scene. 

*JUGGERNAUT Input: 

Truth be told, I absolutely love this band's music and can't wait to play the rest of the songs on this album...they're so damn good, but then I catch myself asking "why aren't they bigger that they are now?"...meaning how are their follower numbers not higher. Well, it's because they're still rather new and unknown to most - however, I know that I can help change that with the aid of my dynamite affiliates!

More to the point here, I'm now a huge fan of this band's music, and will continue to support them in their future endeavors. To be quite honest with our viewers out there, if this band ever asked (are you listening to me here, Adam Steglich) JUGGERNAUT Promotions to officially sponsor them, I would gladly do so in a hot-ass minute - because this band is so super talented that I can truthfully see them growing into first a regional touring band, and then perhaps a into a national touring one...and hopefuly, JUGGERNAUT Promotions will be right there at their side letting the world know this band named EVERFELT knows how to rock! 🤘 

As always, JUGGERNAUT Promotions wants you to check out this band's music and to help support OUR local music industry - because they all rock for you, the fans!
