Modern day torchbearers for the New Zealand alt rock community, post-hardcore trio CRYSTALATOR has been turning heads within their community and beyond, their stage presence demanding attention in the spotlight. With an electrifying style of musicality that sets the group apart, they continue to bring their decade of experience creating together to new heights as they seize every opportunity they make for themselves. As they approach the next stage of their journey together, they celebrate the release of their latest EP, SLIP INTO THE CORE, to the resounding excitement of their fanbase. Anchored in the melodic enthusiasm of the collection’s titular track, the single specifically demonstrates the outfit’s proclivities for experimentation in their process and the unique style of play they bring to every performance.
The piece begins with a sharp percussive foundation, introducing an eruption of instrumentation that immediately defines the world of this music. As the vocals enter after a few short seconds, the tone of the music expands as our speakers are flooded with a stylistically alternative orchestration that feels familiar to the ear, yet novel and unique in its execution.
Defined by an assertive style of play juxtaposed with optimistic tones and melody, the track seemingly defines this project’s creative ambitions with every verse and ushers in a new chapter of their artistic vision with each and every playthrough. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming from these artists’ minds and studio next.
