Hate In MeCalva Louise

This track was created by Calva Louise, a multinational band formed in London by members from different continents—Venezuela, France, and New Zealand.

Included on their album “Edge of the Abyss,” released in July 2025, the piece seems to explore the struggle and release involved in confronting the intense emotion of “hatred” lurking within oneself.

Its dramatic progression—fusing ferocious metal with delicate electronica—feels like the very embodiment of the band’s originality, transforming even negative emotions into art.

With members of Pendulum involved in the production and attention from BBC Radio 1, their music pulls listeners into its world in an instant.

When you feel on the verge of losing to your own weakness, this song might give you the strength to move forward.

With blistering riffs and intricate breakdowns that speak to the darkness within, Currents—the progressive metalcore band from the United States—deliver a track unveiled in July 2025 that lands like a thunderbolt, further deepening the bleak world they forged on their 2023 album, “The Death We Seek.” Rather than merely succumbing to inevitable fate and despair, the song seems to carry a piercing message: embrace the darkness itself and turn it into the strength to move forward.

Fans have described it as “like taking a punch to the face,” a testament to its impact.

On nights when you feel crushed by an inescapable reality, why not surrender yourself to this wall of sound and let your buried emotions break free?

1 on the UK charts, this is truly a cross-generational musical encounter.
