The duo's refined technical edge shines through the track, layering instruments and joint vocals in a way that really emphasises the soundscape on show. Structurally, there's not a lot of variety, but it's not that type of song, trading it instead for immersive atmosphere.

There's something distinct about YOUR PERSONAL VENDETTA, their synth driven sound drenched in red-toned, cinematic aesthetics. Their latest release, "Hero", sets the year off on a strong note, and certainly puts my 2026 reviews off to a good start.

It's been just over a year since SKARLET ENVY opened their new era with lead single "Resurrection", but the payoff has arrived and what a payoff it is - the band's new album, "From The Ashes Of The Dark", sees the Hertfordshire gothic metallers back on top form (did they ever leave?) with 40 minutes of heavy, theatric riffage.
