Setting the tone with anthemic drums and a cerebral melody with a bold, immersive guitar soundscape, Medivh open Down in Flames with dimensionality, atmospheric vocals and introspective prose. The opus taps into a high emotional quotient as Medivh share their souls with poetic prowess and a tangible sensibility. Speaking on the release, the brother duo comprised of Emmanuele and Tommaso confess, “Down in Flames is a haunting alternative rock ballad that delves into the depths of passion and love.”
Within the haunting chords of Down in Flames, lies a narrative that delves deep into the shadows of a poignant and painful relationship. The lyrics resonate with the symphony of longing and heartache, painting a vivid picture of love’s bittersweet melody.
Each verse echoes with the haunting refrain that lingers in the corridors of the soul, weaving a tale of passion and pain. Down in Flames delves beneath the surface, exploring the depths of unspoken emotions and past wounds, creating a poignant harmony of insecurity and doubt.
Fear of abandonment and rejection fuels the narrative, keeping listeners on the edge as they dance between ecstasy and desperation. In this delicate balance, Medivh capture the essence of love’s tumultuous journey, leaving us yearning for more.
We appreciate the intricacy of the sound design, with astral notes, dynamic guitar performances, and an overarching instrumental mastery, manifesting a cohesive and captivating tapestry of sound. The meditative middle eight is stripped back as the duo ask, “Why are you doing this to me?”, before an iconic final reprise.
Naturally, we have added Down in Flames to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Medivh‘s wider discography, including Underwater, and Rebirth, and anticipate future releases from the talented brothers!
