The performance sparked mixed reactions, with some viewers expressing outrage over the band’s heavy style, while many hardcore fans celebrated the visibility it brought to the metal and hardcore scenes.

Spirit Leaves, hard rock band from Orlando, Florida, returns with “Sky On Fire,” their latest hard-hitting single set for release on November 15th via InVogue Records. Showcasing intense themes and an energetic atmosphere, the band dives deeper with this track, taking listeners on an introspective journey exploring ego, identity, and the emotional battles that ignite within.
With influences spanning hardcore and artful modern rock, Spirit Leaves has crafted “Sky On Fire” as an anthem for anyone feeling caught between who they are and who they want to be. The band’s captivating energy is on full display, promising yet another unforgettable addition to their growing discography.
Spirit Leaves “Sky On Fire”
The new single captures an intense push-and-pull, grappling with the tension between one’s outward ego and inner self. Vocalist XZYLO reflects on these complexities, sharing, “This song is about ego vs. self. Ego being the part of you that can’t help but want to show off being the center of attention at all times, and how that show of force can lead to negative things. And oneself referring to more the mask behind the ego and what it really wants. This song tackles how I feel personally about these two things, and how I want it presented to others vs. how I feel about myself.”
“Sky On Fire” is a sonic wildfire, igniting with driving atmospheric guitar riffs at the breakdown, ambient vocals throughout, and relentless movements that embody both the grandeur and gravity of the themes. The intense yearning for liberation from self-imposed chains and acknowledging the familiar struggle of maintaining balance is evident lyrically throughout the track. Each line captures the duality between lofty dreams and harsh realities, weaving in powerful imagery of skies and flames to represent the inner turmoil that drives Spirit Leaves’ sound.
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Spirit Leaves skillfully blends the raw energy of hardcore with the intricate melodies of modern art. Their music resonates with fans of Turnstile, Knocked Loose, Bring Me The Horizon, and Dayseeker, offering a sonic journey that traverses the boundaries of emotion and sound. The band’s name itself reflects their dynamic approach, as they explore new horizons in their genre, continually evolving and adapting.
Their live performances are a captivating spectacle, leaving an impact on audiences with their infectious energy and innovative sound.In the heart of Orlando’s music scene, Spirit Leaves stands as a beacon of innovation and authenticity. Their music goes beyond conventional definitions, embracing the tension between aggression and melody. Through their unique ethos, they invite listeners to join them on an exhilarating expedition into uncharted territories of music and art. With a reputation for devastating live shows and a sound that encapsulates the essence of hardcore’s wanderlust, Spirit Leaves promises an unforgettable experience that lingers long after the final chord fades.

Selling out The National in Richmond, VA has become difficult for alternative bands (and any band really), but Slowdive achieved the feat by packing in people up to the back of the balcony. Everything was alive in Richmond as the shoegaze legends performed for over 90 minutes. After the impressive success of last year’s Everything Is Alive, Slowdive proved that there is still a diehard audience for this form of music.
Opening with Everything Is Alive’s “shanty” set the tone as many of the tracks felt extended for jam sessions and setting the mood for a rainy November night in Richmond. It was the type of performance that had everyone in attendance wearing a slight smile on their face as instruments were played endlessly with little to no downtime through the set.
This will most likely be my final concert to shoot for 2024, and I’m glad I closed out my year with such a strong performance. Slowdive sounded better live than I could have imagined. I had several people message me at this show saying they were jealous of getting to see Slowdive live, and now after seeing them for the first time, I understand why anyone would be jealous for missing out on a group like this.

“Slowdive, the pioneering British shoegaze band, is currently embarked on an extensive 2024 tour, captivating audiences worldwide with their signature blend of dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes and intense live performances. The tour, which spans across multiple countries including the United States, the UK, Germany, and France, features a mix of classic tracks and new material from their recent albums.” (Perplexity)
The return of one of the world’s biggest bands, a new singer, and with an album that everyone will have a strong opinion on. From Zero ranges from original old-school sounding tracks like “Heavy Is The Crown”, to completely different sounding material from past Linkin Park like ‘Over Each Other”. It’s when you get to the deep cuts that you notice a few things. The instrumentals while solid, are never as catchy or striking as I’d wish. Lyrically, the content is based around Linkin Park as an entity and the band’s struggles which is a unique take for the group but hard to connect with. Tracks like “Two Faced” and “Casualty” are lyrically disjointed and is the early 2000’s angst done almost as a cliche, while “The Emptiness Machine” and closer “Good Things Go” have some real depth. From Zero works as a Linkin Park album with some high points but mostly just songs that exist to continue the band’s legacy with a new chapter, by defining themselves and expressing how hard it is to be LInkin Park. The new version of Linkin Park isn’t spectacular, but it’s also not bad, and a band could do worse starting from zero. 6/10
Linkin Park From Zero Album Review
“Heavy Is The Crown (Live)” Linkin Park
Linkin Park: From Zero To Uncertainty
“Linkin Park is set to make a significant return to the music scene with their highly anticipated album, From Zero, scheduled for release on November 15, 2024. This marks the band’s first studio album since 2017’s One More Light, and it comes with a new chapter in their history. From Zero introduces Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara as the band’s new co-lead vocalist, alongside Mike Shinoda, and features Colin Brittain on drums, replacing Rob Bourdon. The album’s title holds a double meaning, referencing both the band’s original name, Xero, and this new beginning.
Reviews of From Zero highlight the album’s ability to balance innovation with the band’s signature sound. Tracks like “The Emptiness Machine,” “Heavy Is the Crown,” and “Over Each Other” showcase the band’s continued ability to craft compelling and heavy songs, with “Casualty” being noted as one of the heaviest in their career.
The album also features moments of vocal harmony and experimentation, such as the 22-second intro “From Zero (Intro),” which draws comparisons to The Beach Boys and Big Big Train. Other songs, like “Cut the Bridge,” evoke memories of classic Linkin Park tracks like “Bleed It Out,” while “Good Things Go” stands out for its symbolic lyrics and the powerful vocal blend between Armstrong and Shinoda.
Linkin Park’s From Zero is not just a new album but a rebirth, signaling the band’s determination to move forward while honoring their past. With a world tour already underway, including dates in the United States, Europe, and South America, fans are eagerly anticipating the live performances of these new tracks. Pre-order From Zero now and be part of Linkin Park’s new era in music.” (Perplexity)
