👏🏻 NYOS release “Growl” today!

Throughout ‘Growl’, NYOS remain unmistakably themselves: their hallmark technical precision and sonic inventiveness are ever-present. Harnessing a vast dynamic range, the Finish 2-piece blend moments of fragile minimalism with visceral, precise, and emotionally immersive sound.

“I think sonically it has all the characteristics of some of our works, but I think that we both feel like this record is the first time we’ve ever truly managed to capture everything we want”, says Tom Brooke, “all the angles/emotions/vibes came out just as we hoped/imagined.”

As eclectic and exciting as ever, NYOS are a band in continuous motion, unafraid to challenge themselves and their listeners with ever-expanding sonic vocabularies. ‘Growl’ is an album that is both coherent and seamless in its movement, walking a tightrope between meticulous structure and explosive energy.

“NYOS prove themselves yet again to be a strong contender in the worlds of math rock, post rock, and progressive instrumental music, without sacrificing their affinity for drone music and draining every last drop from their drum heavy, loop driven roots.” - Sputnik Music

“There is certainly a message behind songs like ‘Get Ready’ and ‘Harder Than Rain’ – those who can connect to the soundscape will understand it.” - Metal Hammer

🔥 Ef treats us to a never before heard track ‘Noll’ as the leading single of 20th-anniversary edition of ‘Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death!, which also celebrates Pelagic Records’ 300th release.

Melancholic, driving, and drenched in tension, ‘Noll’ exhibits EF’s undeniable ability to compose and craft. Catchy vocals, heart-wrenching melodies and refrains recur and transform, creating emotional call-backs that reward attentive listening. Brass and strings emphasise the drama of each turn. Quiet moments feel charged with potential, emotions rise and accumulate, delivering us into climaxes that land with deliberate force.

👏🏻 Ef and Pelagic Records mark a double milestone: the 20th anniversary of ‘Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death!’ and our 300th release.

Reimagined and with expanded production, this edition is a considered re-engagement with the material that first crystallised EF’s voice. The band returns to these songs with the benefit of twenty years’ craft, presenting new arrangements that stretch time and deepen narrative, while retaining the quiet-to-catharsis arc that has always set their music apart.

“Since it’s our precious first born we wanted to give it the love it surely deserves. We felt we didn’t want to celebrate its big 20th birthday by just remastering it and we surely didn’t want to make the songs too modern and unrecognisable for the old fans. We wanted to give it a tighter, more dramatic and bombastic make over… a gentle touch of today’s EF.” (Niklas Åström)

Originally released in 2006, ‘Give Me Beauty… or Give Me Death!’ introduced EF’s signature blend of cinematic guitars, patient dynamics and aching melody. For this new edition, along with an incredible cover illustration by Phillip Janta and brand-new bonus track ‘Noll’, the band returned to the material with fresh ears and clear intentions: to open more space in the arrangements and to enrich the melodic lines with orchestral colour.

🙌 Preyrs drop new live session video for “Bring Ur Bruises” at Riddel’s Warehouse!

Amy’s comment on the live session:
“To shoot this live session in this building is pure alchemy. Anybody who understands intention and frequency knows this. One of the most remarkable survivals from industrial 19th century Belfast is the four-storey ironmongery warehouse built in 1867. Riddel’s Warehouse operated from Ann Street, Belfast until 1973 when a series of fire bomb attacks and the difficulty of operating within the security barricades around the centre of the city forced them to move elsewhere.

Within our metaphorical bruises or scars paradoxically lies the source of our potential. Bring Yr Bruises is a song encouraging somebody who is struggling to see the light or potential in themselves that all is not lost, for their beating heart remains. It encourages you to feel the feeling in order to let it go.”

👏🏻 Preyrs reveal ‘Bring Ur Bruises’

‘Bring Ur Bruises’ radiates resplendent, self-empowering positivity. Centred on the concept of the wounded healer, ‘Bring Ur Bruises’ implores the listener to welcome their trauma in, to own it and wear it as a paradoxical means of ultimately letting it go as triumphant, reverb-soaked guitars soar ever higher.

Their mesmeric debut album, The Wounded Healer, out 14th November.

🔥 Abraham release new album 'IDSUNGWÜSSÄ'

This album isn’t just heavy, it is absolutely drenched in delicious filth, and yet by embracing even more the melodic interludes and melancholic passages, they create a devastating contrast to the wall of power coming from stacked guitars, catastrophic drums and raging, sharp vocals – delivered in Swiss-German dialect.

From the patient grandeur of coming extinction, to the chaos and fevered urgency of the aftermath, in ‘idsungwüssä’ Abraham move forward from prophetic lamentation to an elegiac visceral response. The emotional closure of this expression is felt, something final that will leave you speechless and with only one real option; listen to it again.

“As idsungwüssä goes on, it wears on you. It may be a bit long, but it’s never hard to listen to or unfulfilling, it just demands something different from you that other bands don’t.” - Everything Is Noise

“Abraham have created an immersive experience into post-metal/sludge darkness. Sometimes subtle, sometimes brutal, always high quality.” - Wonderbox Metal
