Midnight Foolishness Turns Emmure’s “MDMA” Into a Haunting Confession

KiTe Finds Light in the Dark on His Soulful New Single “Shadows”

Singapore born and Melbourne based artist KiTe steps further into his world of sleek, introspective R&B with his brand new single “Shadows,” a track that shimmers with restraint and clarity. This is a song that lingers, and breathes in its own melancholy and lets each note find its place.

Into the Storm: The Dark, Relentless Vision of Revvnant’s Death Drive

There’s an unmistakable tension that takes hold the moment Death Drive begins. This isn’t an album that eases you in—it pulls you headfirst into its storm, confronting human fragility, political decay, and the self-destructive impulses we can’t seem to shake. Revvnant, the vision of Elias Schutzman, makes no apologies for the weight it carries. This … Continue reading

Alex Thomen’s “Where Did They Go Wrong?” Turns Social Critique Into Song

Alex Thomen isn’t the kind of artist you can easily pin down. Trained as a composer, he has written everything from cinematic trailer music to intimate solo piano pieces, and now he’s dropped a satirical rock single that feels both timely and timeless.
