no hope was inspired by Jim Carrey’s infamous commencement speech about hope running into the fire, and it builds a story and mood around this in a distinct, optimistic and memorable way. With a longer project due to release later in the year, isabelle tran’s debut marks a timeless first chapter in this honest and engaging artistic venture.
Orange County--California--USA
A fantastic artist, with a classic sound & skill to his process but a unique edge to both his voice & his writing. Refreshingly honest in a commendably fearless way.
The finish is superb, the performances are skillful & incredibly well connected. Ralph Buso’s leading voice presents the perfect fusion of melody & grit.
Every song I write is the next chapter in my constant battle with my own feelings – as long as I have feelings, I will always have something to write about.
The energy of the project is intense, but the heaviness has a striking sense of style to it, and that’s rare in modern & independent heavy metal.
An EP well worth listening to a few times over. Something fans of heavy metal & various sub-genres of the thicker, harder hitting rock sound will love.
