February 24BLACKEST HEART–PresstextFrom blinding light through pitch-black darkness and back:Blackest Heart has beenon the scene since 2024. They’re fearlessly grabbing modern rock by the horns andracing across lush soundscapes filled withhook-laden details, electrifying changes ofdirection, and playful finesse. With their EP “There Will Be Light”theyexplore a vastspectrum of powerful post-hardcore and modern rock music.Where do they comefrom? Where are they heading? It doesn’t matter.Their songs burst with playful esca-pades, unrestrained emotion, and a blend of stylistic influences.
“Our music knows no boundaries,” says Chris, the guitarist,who has been makingmusic with singer Jake for over 25 years. But thisbandisbreakingnew territory forboth of them. “Blackest Heart feels different from anything before.” The band is com-pleted by drummer Marco and bassist Sandro. The four don’t tick offthepredictablestandards, but subject their flood of ideas to one motto: “Song is King.” What a songneeds, it gets. “Yes!” without limitations. “Go!” without limits. Where anything is possi-ble and nothing is necessary, there is usually moretobe found.
Blackest Heart dive headfirst into modern rock and punk, taking breaks to catch theirbreath in electronic soundscapes, only to suddenly jump up again and hit where ithurts, between alternative rock and post-hardcore. At times, their sound is edgy, ex-emplified in the song “Ruthless” featuring Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirenswhoinfuses the track with a fresh blend of clarity, venom, and intensity. Other momentsemanate a hazy atmosphere, such as in “No Limits” where ethereal keyboards inter-twine with stunning harmonies. Then it’s jagged, like in “Closer,” which only lets thefearless get closer with wild tempo changes, but ultimately grabs everyone. These tracks can be astonishing,asin “Party Manifesto,” which escalates into a punk orgybefore ending in an irresistible drum and bass finale. Finally, embracing the world in”Evolution,” which captivates instantly with catchy hooks and a pounding heart.
This eclectic rock ‘n’ roll frenzy draws inspiration from scene milestones, includingbands like Bring Me The Horizon and Blackout Problems.And, like these interna-tional genre colleagues, Blackest Heart is not afraid of complex sonic experiments,shimmering effects, and atmospheric soundscapes. They live and love every verse,every chorus, every lick on “There Will Be Light”. You can hear it. You will feel it. With each listen, more and more. Danceable.Tangible.Unpredictable. Unmistakable. Un-stoppable. A breathless deep-dive into the soul of rock ‘n’ roll in our time. Right fromthe start. Withajam-packed EP in their luggage, telling more stories than many com-mercially available double albums.
Close your eyes, open your ears, hold your breath: Blackest Heart will carry you-through the darkness, straight into the light.
