The rising alt-rock group from Belfast known as Alpha Twin is scheduled to release their latest EP, Symbolism, on October 21st. Taking inspiration from iconic bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and Rage Against the Machine, Alpha Twin has been able to incorporate their own musical practices on top of these inspirations to create a sound that is distinctly their own.
Alpha Twin’s upcoming EP opens with a track that the group had previously released on May 13th called “Gaze.” This hard-hitting song sets the tone for the musical capabilities that Alpha Twin are possible of by combining expertly crafted lyrics with hard-hitting distortion.
The lead single off of Symbolism, “Hypnotise” and “Blood Like Honey,” display the group’s individuality by focusing on themes of mental health instead of the more celebrity-influenced themes present in more famous rock groups. Authenticity is clearly very important to Alpha Twin and their lead single highlights the real message that these real musicians want to display.
Symbolism ends with another track that Alpha twin had previously released on September 2nd called “Live Your Life.” From beginning to end, Symbolism highlights the band’s ability to craft meaningful, lyrical messages while still delivering intense and powerful anthems that any true rocker would love.
