Unleashing The Rough With The Smooth

Pumping with gothic tinged metal that delivers equal doses of melody alongside hard hitting, heavy beats, ‘Hear Me’ finds Gone Til Winter at their most promising. Hailing from Manchester, ‘Hear Me’ is the band’s debut single having previously released demos during their early years. Now though, it appears as if the revolving doors have been firmly shut for the quintet, establishing a line up that bristles with potential, offering a glimmer of hope for the British metal market.

From the initial enticement of a flurry of riffs that beckon you to ‘Hear Me’, Gone Til Winter cleverly unleash the rough with the smooth, wrapping singer Talena Smith’s soaring vocals to the pummelling melody of the band, weaving in progressive riffs with effortless ease. Graceful yet with enough clout to guarantee heads are banging with glee, ‘Hear Me’ will put a halt to Gone Til Winter’s underground residency. Ones to watch.
