According to the band, The Real Nowexplores the journey of life. Guitarist Greg Tribbett states, "This album deals with life - from addiction to depression to death. Life is a journey of unforeseen experiences."

AUDIOTOPSY began writing together in 2014 with the goal of setting themselves apart with their songwriting and dynamic presentation. Upon quickly recognizing the chemistry, they began the journey of recording their debut album, Natural Causes. Metal Injection praised the album's energy, describing it as "remarkable", while Metal Wani called it, "a welcome surprise to the metal scene" and New Noise Magazine dubbed it, "an artfully inspired rock and metal mixture". The Real Now builds upon those praises, and then some.

Featuring both fast-paced headbangers and melodic, grooving anthems, The Real Now conjures nostalgic turn-of-the-century alt-metal influences while never sacrificing crystal clean, modern metallic drive and swagger. Heart-clenching vocals and unforgettable guitar riffs grip the listener from track one. Tracks like "Panic On The Airwaves" and "What Am I?" summon deep, numbing grooves while driving anthems like "Hologram" feature non-stop power rhythms and energy. No AUDIOTOPSY release would be complete without a melodic climax, which comes in the form of the chill-inspiring track "Hurt Down".

The Real Now track listing:
1) War
2) Hologram
3) Panic on the Airwaves
4) Fade Away
5) Hurt Down
6) What Am I?
7) If Only
8) A Death Benefit

Stay tuned for more news coming soon regarding The Real Now.
