Between Living and Letting Go: Tethered Hands’ How We Live Is How We Die
What began as a singular vision has grown into a collective of five remarkable artists, scattered across the globe yet bound by the same pulse. Together, they reach out through the chaos of our modern world, offering something rare and transcendent. They create music that doesn’t just fill the air, but seeps into the soul, demanding it to be felt, inhaled, and remembered.

Between the Light and the Void: L.O.E Redefine Emotion on Chiaroscuro
Throughout this record, the narrated vocals are striking. They don’t tell the story so much as guide you through it. They hover between poem and testimony. Around them, the band builds dramatic contrasts using warm chords against sudden shadows, delicate ambient layers giving way to surges of guitars that feel like the emotional dam finally being released

A Symphony of Despair Reawakened: So Hideous’ 10th Anniversary Revival
There’s a certain kind of beauty that only reveals itself when everything around it is falling apart, and Laursetine, from So Hideous, thrives within that chaos. This is not an album for casual listening, it’s a descent into a meticulously arranged storm. Every track bleeds cinematic grandeur, yet the emotional core is raw enough to leave you scraped and exposed.

Exploring the Emotional Depths of We Lost The Sea's A Single Flower
Fast forward more than five years later and I believe the post-music world has finally been rewarded with the album it’s been a long-time yearning for. What is beautiful about A Single Flower is that rather than trying to surpass Departure Songs, it’s been written to compliment it. It’s that quieter, contemplative brother that speaks volumes in whispers, but who’s message is quietly devastating. For me, A Single Flower is already a masterpiece.

Plat de resistance - A Feast of Sound from 18 Seconds
Plat de resistance was born out of unrest and is a brooding reflection of a world teetering on the brink, where war is no longer an abstract backdrop but an altogether harrowing reality. With such a heavy theme, 18 Seconds tighten their grip on atmosphere and weight, weaving dense, ominous textures that echo the urgency of change and the defiance of resistance

Epic, Captivating & Unforgettable: Zion Returns in Glorious Form
Burdened with Glorious Purpose is a bold and refreshing statement from a band that continues to grow organically into its own skin. Rather than cycling through predictable crescendos and post-rock cliches, these six tracks read as chapters in a beautifully written novel
