Horizons Demise
Horizons Demise are a Metalcore band from United Kingdom. Forming from the ashes of I Defy back in 2015, the band had other commitments preventing their full attention to Horizons Demise but that’s all changed with their recently released debut EP “The Last Light“. Featuring some incredible melodic sections fueled with a perfect blend of brutality and hope, Horizons Demise bring their own style to the metalcore scene.
Starting off the EP with a bang is “New Beginnings”. straight into the track with no messing about, a powerful opening sonic assault sets the mood with that brutality we talked about. Gritty brutal harsh vocals, just how we like them perfectly fitting with the guitar tone, then bringing in that hope in the melodic chorus with some fantastic clean vocals that give the track that extra edge. The song is littered with great riffs throughout particularly towards the closing of the track. A perfect introduction for what’s to come.
Following on from that excellent opener, we’ve got Fortitude which only solidifies an excellent debut from the Southwest boys. Great main riff coursing through the main sections of the track only further amplified in the chorus. This song has been on repeat for us, the chorus is excellent with some more great clean vocals complimenting the lead guitar effortlessly. A standout track.
Although all the tracks on the EP are worthy of being repeated, our favourite is the title track of the EP “The Last light”. Here we have an absolute killer opening riff with excellent drumming throughout the opener and verse, the building nature of the riff is fantastic. You need to sit down and have this on repeat because what a well made track this is.
Finally worthy mentions in the final two tracks in “reborn” and “Soul Betrayer” ( which was previously released as a single. You’ve got some excellent harsh vocals throughout Reborn although the chorus doesn’t tick quite as well as the other tracks the tone in the bass is prevalent on this track and really enhances the second verse. Soul Betrayer provides an excellent finish to the EP a epic chorus following from the fast paced assault in the verses with raw brutal guitar riffs.
An exciting debut from Horizons Demise, we’d strongly recommend you check these boys out with some fresh ideas to the metalcore scene with exceptional melodic riffs complimenting their often brutal assaults. The clean vocals have to be highlighted as they are nothing short of captivating through some the sections of the track that deliver that glimmer of hope in the dark.
Our Rating 4.25/5
