About ONI

Oni is a progressive metal band founded by the frontman, Jake Oni. The band is based off from Ontario, Canada. In Japanese folklore, the name “Oni” is a malevolent shape-shifting demon, able to take on many guises as it spreads pain and misery.

The band was founded in 2014. According to Jake Oni, the initial vision for the band was “to be the band I never got to see.”

They soon released their debut studio album, Ironshore on November 25, 2016. Longtime Lamb of God producer Josh Wilbur produced and mixed the album, as well as frontman Randy Blythe being on the trach “The Only Cure.”

In 2019, the band then released the Alone EP, with Wilbur continuing to produce the band’s songs. On the same year, Jake Oni collaborated with Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton’s debut album, Anesthetic.

From there, the band has went on to tour with other bands such as Gojira, Death Angel, and The Devin Townsend Project, as well as performing at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest.

In 2022, Morton and Wilbur co-wrote and produced the band’s next single, “The Lie,” in February, with Jake credited as the only member of the band. It is unknown what happened or why the other members are no longer involved.

Oni started to get attention again with the band’s breakout single, “War Ender” featuring rap duo City Morgue’s ZillaKami and SosMula. Thanks to the success of this song, Oni had started to gain fans outside of the metal genre. The band then released their debut studio album, Loathing Light on June 17, 2022.
