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.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow: The Lasting Bite of Suicidal Tendencies’ Classic
Can’t Even Smile Today marks Suicidal Tendencies’ explosive transformation from skate-punk misfits to full-throttle thrashers. This album is a razor-edged blend of aggression, melody, and introspection and literally a tightrope walk between fury and despair. Mike Muir’s vocals are raw and confrontational as he wrestles with alienation, betrayal, and self-doubt. His delivery swings from manic rants to almost pleading vulnerability, embodying the title’s tortured question.
