Oni‘s Johnny DeAngelis rips through the band’s track “Barnburner” on a xylosynth in the below playthrough video, which is admittedly something you don’t see every day. As DeAngelis puts it:
“Everyone is always asking me at our shows, ‘what the hell is a Xylosynth,’ so I’m glad that our fans can finally see the instrument demonstrated clearly. It’s definitely built and played like a xylophone, but it’s essentially a traditional synthesizer which allows me to play with a wide range of sound options. Everything from solo/lead parts to more textured stuff, like when I’m riffing with the guitars. This “Barn Burner” video is a really good example of what I bring to the table in ONI.”
The band’s new album “Ironshore” will be released on November 25th through Blacklight Media/Metal Blade.
