Oni formed in 2014. They released their debut album, Ironshore, in 2016, on Black Light Media Records and Metal Blade Records. Longtime Lamb of God producer Josh Wilbur produced and mixed the album and the song "The Only Cure" featured Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe.
Wilbur produced Oni's Alone EP, released by Blacklight Media/Metal Blade in 2019. The same year, Jake Oni contributed guest vocals to Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton's solo album, Anesthetic. He appeared on the song "The Never," alongside Chuck Billy, David Ellefson, and Roy Mayorga, and is credited as co-writer on "Cross Off," featuring late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington.
Morton and Wilbur co-wrote and produced "The Lie," released by Oni in February 2022, with Jake credited as the only member of the band. American trap metal duo City Morgue appeared on another song called "War Ender", with a music video being released on April 13.

Musical style


Oni's sound has evolved over the 3 albums. Their debut album Ironshore is a progressive metal album, heavily featuring a very unusual electronic instrument called the xylosynth. Loathing Light shifted towards more metalcore-focused sound, with much less electronic elements and more straightforward songwriting. The Silver Line leaned more into a more modern progressive metalcore sound, with a heavier emphasis on clean vocals.
