Spectral Twist The Night The Numbers Died Review
Spectral Twist The Night The Numbers Died Review
The Night The Numbers Died opens the EP with a contemporary and futuristic vibe. The lyrics are incisive, reflecting a society reliant on numbers. It evokes imagery similar to the virtual numbers in the film Matrix. The narrative poses a thought-provoking question: what if everything collapses and the power is cut off? In such a scenario, we would be forced to roll up our sleeves and engage in real work. This song combines pop and rock elements, creating an engaging listening experience. The artist exhibits a strong vision through this track.
Following this, Formerly Wealthy Support Group emerges as a standout track. Its introduction recalls bands like System of a Down. The transition into hard rock sprinkled with 80s influences is striking. This song presents a more dystopian theme, accompanied by a nocturnal atmosphere. The decline of ultra-wealth signifies a looming reality, revealing the superficiality of our contemporary existence.
The EP as a whole showcases a strong artistic vision. It has been recorded with modern instruments that do not stifle creativity. Instead, they amplify the artist’s core message. The music serves as a tool to awaken consciousness. It invites the listener to scrutinize reality through a lens of irony and sharp insight.
The Night The Numbers Died – Sound and Atmosphere
In The Night The Numbers Died, the melodies are catchy and resonate well. The lyrics provoke thought while maintaining an upbeat tempo. This dynamic tension between melody and message is a highlight. The listener is encouraged to reflect on existential questions. The song effectively channels frustration towards consumerism and digital dependency.
The duo of tracks shapes a narrative that is urgent and impactful. The artist presents a critique of contemporary society’s fascination with wealth and status. This theme resonates throughout the EP, echoing the sentiments of many listeners. The modern recording techniques enhance the vibrant energy, making each track distinct yet related.
The Night The Numbers Died – Performance and Production
Each song serves a purpose, pushing listeners toward introspection. The innovative style bridges generations of rock enthusiasts.

Hellkern Warriors Rain, Steam and Speed Review
Hellkern Warriors Rain, Steam and Speed Review
The song begins with a thunderclap, heralding an impending storm. This intense opening establishes an atmosphere that grips the listener. Hellkern Warriors introduces their gothic sound. The vocals remind me of the style of Peter Steele from Type O Negative. The music carries an essence of the 1980s, enveloping listeners with an atmospheric and dark aura unique to their approach.
Incorporating industrial, electronic, and alternative rock influences, the band successfully blends various genres. Their style is reminiscent of the likes of David Bowie, Depeche Mode, and The Cure. This fusion creates a rich and multifaceted sonic experience. The mood conjured by the song reflects a rainy street, where the asphalt mirrors the glow of illuminated signs. The imagery is vivid and evocative, evoking dystopian scenes akin to those found in “Blade Runner.”
The piece possesses a hypnotic quality, almost ritualistic in nature. It immerses the listener in a trance-like state. The construction of the song sparks thoughts and reflections, enhancing its hypnotic quality. It’s a song that not only engages but also invites introspection, encouraging listeners to delve into their thoughts and feelings.
Rain, Steam and Speed – Sound and Atmosphere
One of the standout aspects of this track is the unique sound of the synthesizers. Emerging from the enveloping atmosphere, these elements create a hauntingly beautiful sound. The vocals are drenched in reverb, adding a layer that feels prophetic, as if the singer serves as an oracle conveying deep truths. This treatment furthers the song’s enigmatic quality, separating it from typical alternatives in the rock genre.
As the track unfolds, it builds a sense of urgency while remaining grounded in its atmospheric elements. The contrast between the industrial sounds and the gothic undertones provides a rich, textured experience. There is a dynamic relationship between instruments and vocals, a push and pull that keeps the audience engaged throughout the duration.
Rain, Steam and Speed – Performance and Production
The song embodies a twilight essence. With each listen, new shades and nuances emerge, revealing the depth of the composition. This depth invites repeated engagement, as listeners may find themselves continually discovering new themes and layers.
This track will undoubtedly resonate with anyone who appreciates music that blurs the lines between genres and provokes thought.
Despite its dark themes and atmosphere, the song ultimately offers a sense of catharsis and revelation. It has the potential to reach a broad audience, appealing to fans of industrial, gothic rock, or anyone drawn to music rich in narrative and emotive power.
As the track fades, listeners are left with lingering echoes that resonate in mind and heart. A journey through sound, emotion, and reflection is what Hellkern Warriors delivers in this remarkable single.

THE ABSOLUTION SEQUENCE – Launch New Single “The Nightlight Sigil”
Debut Album Dread Cycle Out August 14th
The new video from Tasmanian death metal devils THE ABSOLUTION SEQUENCE is now streaming. “The Nightlight Sigil” is the third single off the band’s highly-anticipated full-length album, Dread Cycle.
Vocalist Shawn Wells calls the song the most personal track on Dread Cycle. “The Nightlight Sigil is a tale of family trauma, toxic home environments and the way in which one is treated in the aftermath. Often those who have suffered the most where they are meant to feel protected are shamed and forgotten. The aim of this is to keep the conversation alive, and begin to heal these deep wounds.”

Live Review: Metallica – London Stadium, Night 2
Live Review: Metallica – London Stadium, Night 2
5th July 2026
Support: Pantera, Avatar
Words & Photos: Tim FinchFollowing on from Night 1 of this epic Metallica weekender in the nations capital, we’re back at the Olympic Stadium for night two of Metallica’s M72 show. Sixteen classic tracks were aired on Friday night and the living legends are about to weight in with sixteen more tonight, with not a single song repeated from Friday night!
Kicking things off though were the always fun Avatar, there is something about this band that will win over even the most hardened gate keepers of our genre. Through forty minutes the band highlighted what they are about, melding melodic death metal, with more traditional classic heavy stylings and a whole host of sounds in between. The closing salvo of ‘The Dirt I’m Buried In’ and the ever popular ‘Hail The Apocalypse’ stamped the bands mark on the show, those Metalli-fans who weren’t aware of this band before are now, and it seems they’ve won them all over.
Pantera need no introduction, and although this is a mere 50% of the classic line up, the songs hit as hard now as they ever have. A barefooted Phil Anselmo roars as he and Rex, with the backing of Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) and Charlie Benante (Anthrax), hit through all the classics. With nearl 90,000 fans singing ‘Fucking Hostile’ is there any better atmosphere to be in on a warm Sunday evening.
Despite the joy the previous two bands have brought, it’s the headliners we are all here to see.
As 90,000 strong fans gather around the bands stage in the centre of the stadium expectant and awaiting round two that sound kicks in again, Ennio Morricone’s ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’ has a way of building the atmosphere for a show like no other and as the song dies down four figures appear from the darkness, Metallica are here again.
Tonight the band launch straight into the classic ‘Whiplash’ and as that electric atmosphere builds the band is swathed in blue light as that familiar bass intro to ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’. The anthems from ‘Ride The Lightning’ keep rolling and it’s straight into the albums title track next, lightning flickering across the eight screens as the crowd signs in unison.
‘The Memory Remains’, complete with crowd filling Marianne Faithfuls vocals, leads us into the newer segment of the show which gives us ’72 Seasons’ and ‘Screaming Suicide’. Followed by the ever present Rob/Kirk jam. Tonight, on the anniversary of ‘Back To The Beginning’ we get a tribute to Ozzy with a Sabbath jam leading us into local lads the Sex Pistols.
‘The Day That Never Comes’ was a welcome to edition to the setlist, followed by a truly underrated classic in ‘Wherever I May Roam’. ‘The Call of Kuthulu’ is the weekends second instrumental (following Friday nights rendition of ‘Orion’), which James again dedicated to the late, great Cliff Burton. After ‘The Unforgiven’ the band tease us with a jam of the intro to ‘Frayed Ends of Sanity’ but alas it ends up leading us to Thin Lizzy cover ‘Whiskey In The Jar’.
‘Blackened’ lifts everyone’s spirits as the atmosphere rises once more before the pyro kicks in with the now regular Moth Into Flame’. Despite the songs young age it is now an ever present staple of these double header shows and the fans love it.
By now Metallica are raging thirty songs into their double header in London and it’s time to pull out the big guns. The eight huge screens flicker back into life as the intro to ‘One’ with its usual war themed animation rolls across the video walls. Just as the fans get ready to rest their neck from an eight minute hand banging marathon its onto set closer ‘Enter Sandman’, which may be a little over played these days. However as you watch 90,000 fans pump their first in unison and you realise just why they play it so much, it is a sight to behold.
Over two days and thirty two songs Metallica have wowed a huge audience in London to close the third European leg of the M72 tour. For Metallica fans, these two nights back to back in the same town, with two completely different sets is an emotion, life affirming moment. Its unlikely the band will extend the M72 tour for a forth Euro leg, so we all wait in anticipation of when they might announce what comes next. For the rest of the year however, some lucky ones head to Vegas for their residency at The Sphere!
