Metallurgical Fire
In The Wake Of Fire lost me a bit, though it’s still a beautiful album. Almost Heaven brings back the power of the At the Stake EP, and has me eagerly anticipating the new record.
Favorite track: Almost Heaven.

If this represents how the new album will sound this will be the best of 2023! I can listen to this song for hours. Epic! That is really the only word I can use to describe it. And the fact that this is an early release to benefit one of their band members means give generously when you name your price.

about
Almost Heaven is a song about being in love with someone you know you cannot be with. It is a song about the precious nature of innocent moments and the pain that comes with letting them go. It is a song about accepting the darker side of moments that may appear, on their surface, to be beautiful, but hide something darker between the lines and between the sighs. Sometimes the way people hurt one another isn’t so easily seen. Sometimes, it is only in hindsight that we truly realize the way we were harmed. Sometimes, both people get hurt. Sometimes, both people are guilty. Sometimes, both people are innocent. Love is complicated, life is more so. Life is a liquid. It moves and flows. It can freeze and it can boil. And every action, be it a thought, a feeling, or a movement, has an equal and opposite reaction.
Almost Heaven was recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by our wonderful producer, Michael Briggs, at Civil Audio Studio in Denton, Texas. It features Dylan Stamas on drums, Michael Ortega on synth, Scott White on bass, and myself, Leah Lane, on guitar and vocals. It was recorded in one day… one of our best days.

Fun, bright post-punk that emulates the bands I grew up with so well that I honestly had to check and make sure the album wasn't a re-release from 1984. So glad this came up in my recommended feed. modestwriggles
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
New on Grimalkin, this EP from Phantómódel is an irresistible batch of gothy post-punk that is delightfully harrowing. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 16, 2019
