BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE, Feat. Former KORN Drummer DAVID SILVERIA: New EP, 'Defy The Algorithm', Out Now

April 22, 2022

BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE, the Huntington Beach, California-based alternative hard rock/metal band featuring former KORN drummer David Silveria, has just released a new EP, "Defy The Algorithm", to all major platforms.

Joining David in BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE are bassist Chris Dorame, guitarists Joe Taback and Mike Martin and singer Rich Nguyen.

BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE formed after a worldwide vocalist search led them to recruit Nguyen. The band's diverse musicality is backed by Silveria's signature groove and neatly wrapped together by captivating vocal melodies.

BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE's debut singles "Pity" and "Change Your Mind", released on January 4, 2019, were met with tremendous fanfare. "Pity", the edgier track of the two, has helped grow the band's following exponentially in both the U.S. and abroad. "Change Your Mind", showcases the band's softer, melodic side. The two singles were released as a Side A/B as a throwback to the '80s and '90s single releases. "Pity" peaked in the Top 25 (#23) on the Billboard (BDS) Indicator chart and Top 10 (#9) on the Foundations (SMR) chart. It has reached over 264,000 streams on Spotify and 54,000 views on YouTube. A third single "Hesitation", was released on July 16, 2019 to radio with an accompanying music video. The song is the exact middle ground between the first two singles. It peaked in the Top 25 (#24) on the Billboard (BDS) Indicator chart and Top 10 (#6) on the Foundations (SMR) chart. It has reached over 26,000 streams on Spotify and over 72,000 views on YouTube.

BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE released its debut EP, "Acronym", in January of 2021. It has reached over 560,000 streams on Spotify. The video for the final single "Anything But Right" was released on August 13, 2021.

"Defy The Algorithm" EP track listing:

01. Twine
02. Surprise
03. Worn Down
04. Antibodies
05. Leave Me Be
06. Naïve

Silveria previously told OC Weekly about BREAKING IN A SEQUENCE's musical approach: "We definitely have our own unique sound, but at times there are hints of the early sound of KORN. I feel this band is a new fresh sound on the rock scene that is lacking right now. We have a new sound for sure, but we aren't reinventing the wheel."

Nguyen described his lyrical themes as "both personal and abstract. Every song I write has two meanings; mine and your interpretation," he explained. "I try to write my lyrics vague enough for people to relate to and form their own opinions. However, if you know me personally, you may be able to figure what I'm talking about, maybe."
