Quiet! I’m Hunting! has an EP called The Fall, The Rise. Both the band’s name and the album’s title are enough to capture your interest. That is, until you play the album. Most bands make the most out of having an EP by trying to fill it with as much as possible. The first track, “Finisher,” is a one-minute intro, with very little build-up or anything to get the heart racing. The screams and vocals lack depth. The guitars fall flat. The drums, however, are crisp, on point and enough to round out the sound. The members are still finding their true selves, and with Southern influences, it really shows. This album will not get your heart pounding, and there will not be many fan favorites on the album, but if the group can expand on its vocal range and depth, with another guitar, maybe they have something there.

Overflowing with Wrath
Dempsey Mills is the brains behind Vials of Wrath, an atmospheric solo project rooted in Nordic inspiration, historic genre, and a dichotomy of peace and tension that underlies the heaviness of the music. Just don't call it unblack.

Droning On
The world came to a halt in 2020, but London-based Drones trudged on, giving a voice to the hurt that circulates with (or without) a pandemic: "You shouldn’t underestimate the power of writing things down or literally speaking them out loud, which I’m learning. I’m glad I made these songs, no matter how personal they are."
