InVisions is terribly similar to so many popular hardcore/Metalcore bands it’s ridiculous. However, the undeniable truth is that each track from their newest self-released album – Never Nothing – has a little something-something that forcefully welcomes you into a jam sesh filled with passionate lyric butchering and head banging action. So, yeah, you’ll have fun with this one! Continue reading

Disc one, Death, sees nine tracks of corkscrew, minimalistic arty alternative rock, while the second part, Love, sees the band provide the score to a short film from independent director Jesse Nieminen; a combined effort with sees a kaleidoscope of murky, temperamental and psychedelically angular musical ideas.Continue reading
