About

Formed in 2019, STATIC CORE are a New York–based heavy metal band featuring vocalist Derek Vane, lead guitarist Mike Crowe, guitarist and backing vocalist Logan Pierce, bassist Ryan Holt, and drummer Jason Hollow.

Their sound fuses the ferocity of thrash and speed metal with epic, dark atmospheres and symphonic intensity, delivering music that is relentless, heavy, and brutally precise.

Built on razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and commanding vocals, STATIC CORE create songs designed to hit hard and never let go. Their music is aggressive and intense, yet structured and deliberate, balancing raw fury with epic scale and dramatic tension.

STATIC CORE channel chaos into control. Every track is engineered for impact, transforming anger and darkness into a focused, overwhelming force. This is metal without dilution: heavy, and unapologetically powerful.

Background

STATIC CORE was formed in Queens (New York) by musicians driven by a shared obsession with speed, discipline, and sonic dominance. Influenced by the city’s raw energy and relentless pace, the band approaches metal as a physical and psychological experience.

Their creative process is built around precision and pressure. Songs begin with aggressive rhythmic foundations and evolve through tightly structured arrangements, often expanding into epic, almost cinematic passages that amplify tension rather than soften it.

STATIC CORE do not seek comfort or nostalgia. Their music confronts darkness head-on, exploring themes of conflict, power, control, and inner violence. Each release is designed as a weapon, focused, heavy, and built to endure.
