   MusicDish Music Video Review: "CPR (Star

   An independent metal band from Auckland, New Zealand, Metaract consists of   
   musicians from established New Zealand rock and metal bands such as Just One   
   Fix, Static Era (top 10 NZ album), Tadpole (certified double platinum), who   
   have toured with    
   international artists like Disturbed, Korn, Alter Bridge, Megadeth and   
   Evanescence. Since all of the members come from different sections of the hard   
   rock and metal spectrum, Metaract's sound pulls from a variety of sources of   
   inspiration.   
      
   Metaract released their debut single, CPR (Start Again), worldwide on April   
   22, 2017. It was recorded and mixed by New Zealand award winning engineer,   
   Dave Rhodes, at Depot Sound Studios and mastered by Sage Audio in the USA.   
   "CPR (Start Again)" is    
   basically about the madness happening in the world. We can either passively   
   watch and do nothing, or actively do something to fix the mistakes of the   
   past," explains the vocalist Chris Yong. CPR (Start Again) is a constant   
   reminder of the high number of    
   world events in recent years, and the vivid images of protests and worldwide   
   violent incidents in the music video reflect the urgency of such issue.   
      
   This song combines edge crushing riffs, stomping grooves and hook-laden   
   melodies, paying tribute to all eras of metal, while carving out their own   
   unique path in New Zealand metal. Not wanting to sound specific to any   
   sub-genre of metal, the members    
   Chris Yong (Vocals/Guitars), Sharne Scarborough(Guitars), Victor Pesch (Bass)   
   and Clayton Gould (Drums) embrace whatever comes out during the writing   
   process: speed/thrash, 80's raunch, hard rock, punk, metal and many more. And   
   CPR (Start Again) is a    
   successful outcome of Metaract's composing process. 
   
      
   From the ferociously high-energy music video, we could assume that in every   
   live show, Metaract always leaves the audience gasping for air while still   
   wanting more.
