AnimaL Ion

In the midst of an epic week on RAT Radio, last week's Jersey Rock Band of the Week AnimaL Ion launched their brand new YouTube Channel with the release of their new music video "The Call."  We look forward to seeing more visual material from the high-octane Rock powerhouse in the near future.

AnimaL Ion's music incorporates a number of influences, genres, and musicians to create a sound that seamlessly blends elements of Progressive Rock with NU Metal, and Grunge for a modern sound with classical undertones.  It's something that should be experienced live!  Catch them in Baltimore on May 4 for Zenwest and in Towson on July 15 at The Recher  With Heavy Metal act A Sound Of Thunder.

AnimaL Ion is based in Washington, DC and primarily rocks the Mid Atlantic area.  Singer/Composer Anthony Nuccio teamed with long-time collaborator and New Jersey native Connor Engstrom to make his vision an reality.  In addition to serving as the producer for Anthony’s compositions, Connor also plays guitar in the band.  The duo worked with a number of talented artists on AnimaL Ion’s “Regression” EP.

“Regression” is available on all streaming platforms.  You can score a CD or digital download on their bandcamp page!

"The Call" was written by Anthony Nuccio and produced by Anthony Nuccio and Connor Engstrom at Blackbox Studios.  It features CJ Tywoniak on lead guitar and Chris Moore on drums.  The video was directed and edited by Anthony Nuccio.  Check it out!
