Eyes Like Midnight’s new single “Bad Love” hits you like a freight train wrapped in neon lights. It’s metalcore, but not as you know it. The band’s taking risks here, mixing bone-crushing riffs with splashes of synthwave and pop hooks that shouldn’t work but somehow do. And with Robert Cosgrove (you might remember him from Sleep Signals) at the helm, they’re pulling it off with style.

The track starts quiet – almost deceptively so. There’s this dreamy electronic intro that lulls you in before the guitars kick down the door. But here’s where it gets interesting: instead of dropping the synths once things get heavy, Eyes Like Midnight keeps them dancing through the chaos. The production’s crystal clear too, letting you catch every detail even when the song’s going full throttle.

Cosgrove’s voice is something else. One minute he’s singing like he’s trying to heal your soul, the next he’s screaming like it’s being ripped out. When he hits that breakdown – the one about a relationship falling apart – you feel it in your gut. It’s raw, it’s real, and it hits hard.
