‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

Exceptional & impressive: "Sword (EP)" by pMad

Sword (EP) by pMad

pMad, a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist from Ireland who produces alternative rock and post-punk music, has revealed a new EP titled Sword. The EP comprises four songs that exhibit pMad’s dark and edgy style, influenced by bands such as Killing Joke, The Cure, or The Sisters of Mercy. 
The introductory song, “Sword”, is a goth rock anthem with heavy guitars, pounding drums, and pMad’s deep and haunting vocals. The mesmerizing chorus will linger in your mind for days. 
The subsequent track, “Down”, is sorrowful and touching and addresses depression and suicide. It features pMad’s deep vocals, a minimalist guitar riff, and a pulsating drum beat that create a deep as well as dark atmosphere.
“Fire” is an amazing gothic track with heavy guitars and pounding drums. The song conveys a powerful message about the environmental crisis and the greed of the powerful, as pMad sings “Our planet is on ‘Fire’, do we have the time and the will to save it?” 
The concluding song, “Fury”, goes more into hard rock with distorted guitars, aggressive drums and raspy vocals. The song expresses pMad’s anger and frustration with the world. "Sword" is an exceptional and impressive EP that demonstrates pMad’s talent and versatility as a musician. It is a splendid listen for fans of alternative rock and post-punk music.
