Libricide is a multi-faceted modern music group and production house based out of New York, USA, fusing styles and taking stages to create an original sonic experience that broadens your mind and gets stuck in your head.  

Holding down multiple roles at the forefront of Libricide is Producer/Writer/Frontman Harun Gadol, who originally formed the band as a solo project, initially releasing the group’s first EP - Barriers To Entry. Lead Guitarist Dylan Stark joined shortly thereafter, leading to Libricide’s self-titled, full-length debut album. The group was soon on the rise amidst their local tri-state area live circuit and beyond, finding talented and like-minded musicians to support the recording and touring lineup.

Various artists and musical aesthetics inform the sound of Libricide, as the group nods to classic rock inspiration, while expanding their horizons to encompass a wide sphere of influence. Libricide’s collective influences range from the core classics of the rock world to 90’s/2000’s alternative and grunge, to progressive, pop, metal, acoustic, hip-hop, electronica and more. Their diverse musical tastes are well-applied in their songwriting, representing a wide breadth of styles while still providing memorable, catchy, and radio-ready tracks.

True to their name, Libricide burns the book of rules and expectations of musical trends, creating a unity of genre that aligns with the message of their current full-length work, Consilience. Meaning “unity of knowledge”, Consilience also represents the alliance formed in the making of the record, as the band’s internal team of songwriting and arrangement aligns with external collaboration alongside such artisans of production as John Ferrara (Cro-Mags, Trophy Scars, Young Thieves) and Ted Jensen (The Eagles’ Hotel California, Green Day’s American Idiot, Billy Joel, Norah Jones and much, much more). If the first album endeavored to captivate the local scene, Consilience represents the band’s new emergence to cross the threshold into reaching audiences across the nation, and the world.

LIBRICIDE STUDIOS is the band’s HQ, a production house that expands their following to an extensive reach through covers, viral content, and video production, which has included national and international collaborations. This creative outlet has gained them attention outside of the scope of their music, while still drawing newcomers in to discover the sounds of Libricide.

The band’s production-focused lifestyle naturally translates to the live experience, as Libricide always aims to craft the perfect sound and stage for each performance, tailoring the ideal set for any audience. Their adaptability has led Libricide everywhere from singer/songwriter bills to the heaviest of metal lineups, and to sharing stages with the likes of Ace Frehley, Chevelle, Hoobastank, Puddle of Mudd, Stone Temple Pilots, and Yngwie Malmsteen, just to name a few!

As they reside in their unity of genre, Libricide also expands into the unity of sound and visuals, with cinematic, animated and live music videos accompanying their latest full-length work, as the band continues to grow and enrich their musical explorations now and into the future.
