No strangers to the road, Czar toured the full U.S. in 2013 with Killing Joke. Czar’s sophomore album, No One Is Alone If No One Is Alive, was released in November of that year. Marrying the triumphant metal edge of Heartwork-era Carcass with a majestic power in line with post-hardcore royalty like Quicksand, NOIAINOIA nods to the past (there is a Beatles cover, no less) while pushing forward into expansive, post-everything realms.
Both NOIAINOIA and the 2011 debut album, Vertical Mass Grave, were produced by Hum frontman Matt Talbott and released via the band’s own imprint, Cracknation Records.
