Underoath
Voyeurist
Underoath has been a seminal voice in progressive, heavy rock for almost two decades. On Voyeurist, their seventh full-length (and second with Fearless Records), Underoath has once again found brilliance in walking the line between reinvention and the foundational elements of the project.
The story of Voyeurist traces back to their 2020 livestream event, Underoath: Observatory. The success of Observatory, which was orchestrated largely by the band, provided the confidence for them to self-produce their next record for the first time. The result is the most collaborative album of Underoath’s career and, anchored in a profound respect for each other, one that left no stone unturned creatively. The band refers to it as “high-def violence” - technologically advanced, but undeniably visceral. Conceptually, Voyeurist has several interrelated meanings, each tying back to the concepts of how we curate ourselves through social media and how that facade masks a lot of what we actually experience in life.
With their shared history of remarkable accolades and trying hardships still shaping who the individual members are as people, Underoath is just scratching the surface of what they can accomplish as a band. There are few acts in the annals of rock history that can say their best work is still ahead of them almost two decades into their career. Fortunately, Underoath falls into that category. It will be something special to witness as this next chapter in the Underoath story unfolds.

Hum
Inlet
Completely unexpected, the first album in 22 years from the gigantically influential, semi-legendary HUM. A genuine Album Of The Year contender, and possibly their finest ever, it mixes their super-heavy / epic sound into elements of drone and shoegaze, with their trademark almost-sighed vocals. Longtime fans will in no way be disappointed; newcomers with a penchant for post-rock, emo, math rock and even doom metal will see what all the fuss has been about!
"The band is extremely thankful for the kindness we have received over the years, and we hope everybody is happy and well."
The new album is an eight-track release that should appease fans of the band's '90s output. Highlights include the album opener "Waves," the hypnotically epic "Desert Rambler," the dark yet crushing "The Summoning" and the slow ebbing closer "Shapeshifter." - Loudwire

Night Letters
Witness To The Love
It's hard to believe that the eerie instrumentation and atmospheric undertones of Night Letters grew out of the DIY punk scene. Vocalist Tony 'TK' Klein (More Than Life) and guitarist Kai Sheldon (Landscapes) have been friends since school, both hailing from the same small town in South West England. Tours in mainland Europe with UKHC heavyweights Dead Swans brought Benny Mead into the picture and all three bonded over drums as TK, then drummer for More Than Life, fondly recalls 'I was blown away with Benny's drumming and he inspired me to be a better musician'. As with so many touring experiences, friendships formed that would last a lifetime.
In 2012 TK found himself living and working in Berlin, another local resident just so happened to be Adam Crowe from Australian hardcore crew Miles Away. 'We started hanging out and talking about our experiences playing in bands and after a quiet period with More Than Life I approached Adam and asked him if he was interested in starting a new project. He was up for it and we recorded ‘Reflect the Sky' in Berlin". To begin with, Night Letters was just a two-piece studio project but after Germany's Day By Day Records agreed to release the EP it quickly became clear that the music had no ceiling and the demand for live shows brought Benny and Kai back into the fold.
In 2018, now a four-piece, Night Letters entered British studio the Ranch to record their debut album with producer Lewis Johns (Funeral For A Friend, Rolo Tomassi). TK is aware of the band's roots and how important the punk rock scene was to them, 'We're still and always will be hardcore kids but we felt like we needed something that represented us now as adults. We took a lot of elements from hardcore, the build-up parts, the explosive energy in the guitars, the dynamic drums and brutally honest lyrics. I'm still angry but It's a different type of anger now. I'm not angry at the world so much, but I am still trying to find a connection. Trying to find out what makes us who we are, exploring our mental environments, and adapting to the changes life throws at us'.
'Witness to the Love' is a hardcore record at heart - honest, raw and passionate. But it's also far more than that. Night Letters blend elements of shoegaze, indie and dream pop to create a sonic wall of sound that leaves the listener bathing in alt-rock ecstasy.
