HOW WE FEEL are a powerful new duo consisting of Vocalist Chris Bianchi (Forever in Terror) and Drummer Brian Lamtman.Â
Best friends for more than 20 years, they were inspired to make music together in early 2024. Influenced by Shinedown, Imagine Dragons and Thirty Seconds to Mars, they have released their hard hitting new LP Ready For War on Legend Recordings/Virgin Music Group.
HOW WE FEEL is carving their name into the modern rock scene with authenticity, energy, and purpose – coupled with a sound that has a fresh yet familiar edge.
The album was recorded at the bandâs new WareHouse Studio in Kent, OH.  It was engineered by John Burke and produced and mixed by Paul Bartolome (Asking Alexandria, Escape The Fate), and mastered by Grammy Award winning Ted Jensen (Green Day, Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence) at Sterling Sound in New York.
The bandâs Chris Bianchi says “Making this album has truly been an experience that we will never forget. From not knowing if we could do it again, to taking those first steps and now here we are: âReady For Warâ is an album we’ve put an extreme amount of time and effort into. It has a lot of feeling and emotion related to the things we all face in our everyday lives at this point. I hope that listeners can relate and find their own solace in the album. It tells a story of triumph and overcoming along the way. It’s a story of truth and about how you never give up on your dreams.â

Ready For War (LP Focus Track)
The title track is the focus for the album release, and the âReady For Warâ video was directed by Jake Cole in Canton, Ohio (Home of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame).  Bianchi explains âThe video is meant to showcase the daily struggles and obstacles that many face be it through bills, relationships, daily life struggle but that love will always win. It helps you find that light in the dark and at the end, you can win and you do triumph. The video is meant to our process: Going from writing in the basement, to recording the song in the studio â and ultimately performing live on stage for our fans.â
The band is starting to book shows in support the album release and will be using their appearance at the upcoming Inkcarceration Festival to launch into touring for the rest of the year into 2026.
