Sonic Experiments With STEPHEN & ARIC From HOUSE OF PROTECTION

Sonic Experiments With STEPHEN & ARIC From HOUSE OF PROTECTION

Author: HEAVY Magazine January 29, 2025 Duration: 11:38
Interview by Kris Peters
House of Protection, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, serves as a sanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. 
Abandoning any regard for tradition and form, they followed a feeling and unearthed a sound that sees them push their limits further than ever before. Bridging the not so disparate worlds of hardcore, electronica, and punk, the two forged a space for boundless creativity and a community fuelled by chaos.
The band is a project created by formerly two-thirds of Fever 333 (Stephen & Aric), they're signed to Red Bull Records and backed & produced by legendary producer and ex-Bring Me The Horizon keyboardist Jordan Fish AND are featured on Architects upcoming album. 
House Of Protection are in Australia for the first time, supporting Bad Omens with Poppy across the nation, and HEAVY caught up with Stephen & Aric not long before their recent show at Brisbane's Riverstage.
"It's been awesome so far," Aric began. "Honestly, we didn't really know what to expect, especially walking up because Bad Omens audience looks very much like a Bad Omens audience (laughs). They are there for that band, but they have been really receptive. It's cool to be on such an eclectic tour because it doesn't feel competitive. It just feels like everybody's expressing themselves honestly, and that's always a cool situation to walk in to."
In the full interview, we spoke about the tour and how it is going, the band's formation from the ashes of Fever 333, their musical direction, getting the mix of styles right in the creative process, their recent EP track by track, plans to come back to Australia and more.
