Profiler is a Nu-Metal reawakening, inspired by those who have incited change in genres, arts, and theories. It's a weight of legacy that the band is comfortable shouldering.
After starting as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Mike Evans (vocal and guitar) stepped out from the studio and onto the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson, the pair would go on to write and record 2024’s debut album, A Digital Nowhere (SharpTone Records). Joining on drums is Jacob Andrews, who along with guitarist Jay Evans, cements the line-up that would continue to promote the album and underpin the live show.
Profiler's nu-metal-grunge-alt-rock, call it what you want, is an abrasive distorted soundscape that reverently glances back to those genres' heydays. Profiler is for anyone who misses or missed the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the explosion of nu-metal that dominated the 00s and the genre-bending bands they made a path for.
With a reputation for memorable live shows, Profiler is picking up notable support slots across the UK (Memphis May Fire, Monuments, Vower, Northlane, Whitechapel) and a 34 date EU tour with Vended, bringing the reawakening to the scene's surface.
