AREA 51 was formed by vocalist Adam Denlinger (MaYaN) and guitarist Bill Logan following the 2020 pandemic.

Discussing their first album, set for release sometime in 2023, Adam Denlinger says that lyrically, it “Covers heavy global issues that we all know exist, but never do much to resolve.” Adding that “Awareness without solutions and effort is simply not enough”, the AREA 51 debut album will feature works from multiple guest musicians from bands such as MaYaN, Fleshgod Apocalypse, In Flames, Septicflesh, Persefone, and Pestilence.

The band’s first single, Victims, is available on all major streaming platforms with a music video shot by Stephanie Cabral (whose works include shots of Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Black, In Flames, Dee Snyder, and many more).
