Oni is a Canadian progressive metal band[1][2][3][4][5] currently signed to Metal Blade Records. They became known to a wider international audience by accompanying the Finnish metal band Children of Bodom on their 2017 tour.[6][7][8] Noteworthy about their music is the use of a xylophone in the form of a xylosynth, which is uncommon in metal music.[9][10]

History[]

ONI was formed in 2014.[11] The group released their debut album, Ironshore, in November 2016.[12] "The Only Cure" featured Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe, and was produced by Josh Wilbur, primarily recognized for his work with metal artists Lamb of God and Gojira.[13]

ONI has toured with Gojira, Max & Iggor Cavalera, The Devin Townsend Project, Death Angel, and Children of Bodom. They also performed at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest with Randy Blythe.[14] [15]
