Koyo Would You Miss It

KOYO – Would You Miss It?

29. September 2023 lostandfading 0

American post-hardcore bands have consistently excelled in crafting guitar riffs that elicit powerful emotional responses. The debut album by KOYO, a fresh addition to the Long Island music scene, demonstrates this skill right from the outset. Without uttering a single word, “51st State” conjures a blend of euphoria and sorrow. As the vocals kick in, the emotional impact intensifies. It’s akin to standing on a beach, witnessing the most breathtaking sunset of your life, all while grappling with the loss of your closest friend. KOYO masterfully encapsulates this intricate mixture of sadness, nostalgia, and hope in their songs.

To have this one out into the world is a great feeling. We hope you all enjoy listening to it as much we did creating it.”

“‘Forever Bloom’ is a fast-paced song with a whimsical edge to it, paying homage to some of our metal roots,” says guitarist Stephen Rutishauser. “The video accompaniment should let you know that it isn’t all evil and darkness in the world of metal. Of course, we were very grateful to have our friend Trevor feature on this song — RIP to a legend.”

“Doomswitch’ is a term coined by online poker players used to describe a hypothesized mechanism by which an online poker site will continually infer bad luck onto a player,” reveals the band about this new single. “Sean related to this term and, at the time, it felt as if a ‘Doomswitch’ had flicked on his life, so we used the concept as the main inspiration for the song. We’ve adopted a new element into our sound along with the inclusion of a new member: Alex. This song marks a new chapter and the next step forward for the band and the sonic shift in ‘Doomswitch’ really drives that home.”

The song features The Ghost Inside’s Jonathan Vigil. “‘Times Like This’ is about how as a society, we have accepted misinformation as a part of life, and in some cases, even embraced it” says singer Ryan Kirby. “Those in power keep us at each other’s throats using these tactics, and when we rise above the noise, we can finally give the throne back to the many — not the few”.

The new album “Color Decay” by The Devil Wears Prada is another step into the adult songwriting of the band and shows once more what the band is capable of. For a long time TDWP is no longer a pure metalcore band, even if they always stay true to their origin in the core. Their sound today is rocking, melancholic, aggressive and sometimes all that in just one song. A multi-faceted band that has proven itself once again.

“The idea for this EP was to share three distinctly different songs,” the band explains. “The first is a classic Dreamshade style — a hyper melodic, introspective song. The second is probably one of our heaviest and darkest songs to date. For the last track, we decided to re-record ‘Wide Awake’ from our 2011-released debut record What Silence Hides.”
