Empty Hands

Poppy

Serrated metalcore riffs meet hyper-polished pop melodies. A high-gloss document of romantic betrayal, digital isolation, and explosive emotional catharsis.

It's like a high-speed car crash between a pop star and a metalcore band, and it's glorious.

A cold, high-gloss explosion of focused rage and digital melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the 28-second ambient drift of Constantly Nowhere into the serrated metalcore assault of Unravel.
The way the crystalline synth-pop melody of Time Will Tell suddenly curdles into a thick, down-tuned sludge metal bridge.
The final minute of the title track where the vocals dissolve into a layered, choral wall of static and grief.
