Melbourne’s rising stars Living Through Mirrors have unleashed a monster with their self-titled track “Everlasting,” and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Fresh from their debut album of the same name, this powerhouse offering combines a high octane instrumental approach with an emotional and personal vocal delivery that hits like a freight train to the soul.
From the moment the track kicks in, you’re swept up in a tempest of intense riffs and heavy beats that showcase the band’s masterful command of dynamics. The Australian outfit proves they’re not just another face in the crowd, crafting layers of unrelenting rhythms and enchanting melodies that weave together like a tapestry of controlled chaos.
The lyrics cut deep, exploring themes of inner struggle and resilience. When the vocalist bellows “It’s mine thoughts of the reckoning” before diving into a passionate plea to “Remain with me,” the raw emotion is palpable. The track’s structure is a perfect marriage of aggression and atmosphere, with verses that build tension and a chorus that releases it in explosive bursts of energy.
What sets “Everlasting” apart is its ability to balance technical prowess with genuine emotional weight. The production is crisp and modern, allowing each instrument to breathe while maintaining the song’s crushing intensity. The rhythm section forms an unshakeable foundation, while the guitar work alternates between searing leads and earth-shaking rhythms.
For a debut album’s title track, “Everlasting” sets an incredibly high bar. It’s a statement piece that announces Living Through Mirrors as a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal landscape. This isn’t just a song; it’s a declaration of intent from a band that’s clearly here to stay, and if this track is any indication, their future is looking blindingly bright.
