Derby metalcore newcomers Lost To Light have released their highly anticipated debut EP, Conceal, alongside a video for single "Confess" today via self-release. The EP, acting as the first half of double-EP release, is an urgent and confessional slice of riffy metalcore, primed with raw emotion and a high degree of potency.
Discussing the EP's release, the band stated: "Everyone experiences times in their life where they are facing challenges internally, whilst to those around them they may seem completely fine. This EP speaks as an example of some of these concealed struggles and offers an open hand to the listener by letting them know they are not alone."
Further, the focus single "Confess" offers up some of the most deeply personal and vulnerable songwriting across the entire EP, with co-lead vocalist Ash Currie continuing: ""Confess" is a song about learning to speak up about not being okay. It’s a song that took me a while to really dive into because it became so personal, it was written during a time where I felt there was no way out and the only thing I could really ask myself was 'how do I tell people that I’m not alright?' which was my confession."
The release of Conceal comes just ahead of the band's performance on the New Blood stage of the year's edition of the legendary Bloodstock Open Air, with the band playing alongside such venerated acts as Architects, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Hatebreed and more. With a huge back half of 2024 ahead for the group, as well as the promise of a second EP to follow, it seems the sky is the limit for Lost To Light.
Featuring members of underground UK legends Sworn Amongst & The Cartographer, alongside former members of Skies In Motion, Laguna Sunrise, & Path To Prevail, Lost To Light may be newcomers, but their existing pedigree within the UK scene is evident from the moment "Redeemer" begins. It's self-evident through their undeniable presence, too, having landed such legendary festival stages as this year's Bloodstock Open Air, as well as the final edition of UK Tech-Fest in 2023 with just one previous single under their belt.
With a unique dual-vocal setup, angular riffs, soaring leads, and an acute handle on both blistering aggression and infectious melodicism, Lost To Light's sound is equal measure planetary, punishing and urgent, and has quickly gained them rightful notoriety in the UK scene in just a short time.
