 The vocals are the focal point of the entire work, where the usual screamo/melodic dualism provides a more than good rendition.

 I remain convinced of the good potential of these Thirsting For Revenge, perhaps still a bit stylistically raw but at least bold in seeking paths that are not currently trodden.

The vocals stand out with effective melodic and screamo interplay, while electronic elements add depth. Though occasionally chaotic, the EP demonstrates promising creativity and distinctiveness from typical genre acts. Discover Thirsting For Revenge's unique blend of screamo and metalcore—listen to 'Leaves in Autumn' today!

 Shadowy and nocturnal, melancholic but not gloomy, the mood is best delivered by exploiting the sounds of the genre’s staples, but with a good dose of personality.

 The vocals bring in the sore notes: voice too dry and too 'forward' to be entirely shoegaze, nasal and juvenile; vocal lines dragged and lacking hooks up to monotony.

Felpa's 'Paura' channels shoegaze and 90s indie influences, especially drawing from Slowdive, into a shadowy and introspective Italian indie record. The album offers evocative instrumental moments and a melancholic yet serene atmosphere but struggles with dry and somewhat monotonous vocals. While the lyrics lack memorable hooks, the clean, classic arrangement of guitars, bass, and keyboards creates a distinctive mood. 'Paura' stands as a positive but reserved step forward for Felpa. Discover Felpa's 'Paura' and dive into its unique blend of shoegaze and introspective Italian indie sounds.
