Project Nine — Live Underground EP

Norwalk, CT, March 17, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Project Nine is a 4-song body of work from underground artist iclypzx!, built with live performance at its core. This project marks a new chapter—one focused on growth, transformation, and creating music that connects in real spaces with real people. The intent is clear: these tracks are designed to be felt in the room, not just heard through a screen.

The sound is raw and unfiltered. Distorted production, momentum-driven rhythms, and vocal delivery that doesn't hide behind polish or perfection. Each song carries emotional weight, built for underground venues, DIY spaces, and intimate stages where the energy between artist and audience is direct and unmediated. This isn't music made for algorithms or playlists—it's made for basements, small clubs, and anywhere the connection feels tangible.

The collaboration with producer metafreeze on the track "grind" emphasizes endurance and forward motion. It's a song built to hit physically and emotionally when performed live, capturing the momentum that defines the project as a whole. The production choices across all three tracks prioritize intensity and presence, creating a sonic foundation that translates naturally into performance.

Visually, Project Nine is paired with cover art by winterechovoid, reflecting themes of rebirth, self-expression, and the raw energy that runs through the music. The aesthetic complements the sound and gives a glimpse into the immersive experience iclypzx! is working to build.

Beyond the music, iclypzx! is cultivating the TAKEOVA Network Discord—a community-driven space where fans, creatives, and supporters can connect directly with the artist and each other. Live performances will serve as the gateway into this network, creating opportunities for shared experiences and long-term engagement. The approach prioritizes genuine interaction over hype, turning listeners into supporters through meaningful connection and shared energy.

Project Nine is more than just a release—it's a statement of intent. It's about building a foundation rooted in authenticity, consistent output, and community engagement. The project is designed to grow organically with the audience, establishing trust and presence before the first show even happens. This is music meant to be experienced live, supported by a network of people who show up not because they were told to, but because they want to be part of something real.

This is ICLYPZX! stepping forward. This is Project Nine.
