We recently connected with Lehi Petersen and have shared our conversation below.

Lehi, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

We are finally releasing our first full length album titled “I Am Omega” June 14. 2022. It has been in the works since Summer 2019 but COVID slowed down the process. Our sound has evolved a lot and we are making strides to carve out our own sound in the industry. The album features some unconventional music writing and is our most experimental to date. It will be available on vinyl as well as streaming digitally on all major services. Along with the album is an ambitious music video founded and created by the band which will release April 19th on youtube and other platforms.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Lehi Petersen, Troy Ten Eyck, and Erik Petersen are family and started playing music together at a young age in different projects. Music is our passion and we hope to make a full-time career out of it. This group in its current form has been together since 2019 with the addition of Bill Jenkins. We strive to create music that is aggressive while exploring new and experimental ideas. Our live presence is intense and there is never a dull moment. We are extremely proud of this new record and look forward to showing it to whoever would like to hear it.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The creative process itself is as rewarding as when others get to hear it. There is something special about creating this thing with friends and collaboratively throwing around ideas until there is a cohesive product. The thrill of then showing the music to others, especially in a live setting, is unmatched by any other emotion.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building on social media is extremely difficult and requires some luck. Paying for ads has not worked for us. Interacting more with the fan base, playing live, and word of mouth has been more effective.
