Philadelphia heavy alt-rockers ASKYSOBLACK have announced their debut LP titled "Touch Heaven" set for release on January 31st, 2025 via New Morality ZIne. Following their acclaimed EP, Autumn in the Water, the band takes a more stripped-down approach, trading sonic variation and heaviness for a focus on melody and emotional depth. That said, the band continues to use elements of heavy shoegaze, grunge, alternative rock, metal and post-hardcore over the 11 track LP. Thematically, Touch Heaven delves into the raw and intimate realms of personal loss—specifically love—and the accompanying waves of depression, grief, and heartbreak. Yet, in its musicality, the album offers listeners a chance to detach from the weight of daily life and mental struggles, creating a space for introspection and emotional release. Lyrically cohesive yet musically expansive, Touch Heaven invites individual interpretation and resonates deeply with those seeking solace in sound. This debut marks a significant evolution for ASKYSOBLACK, setting the stage for their unique voice within the alternative rock scene. You can also check out latest single "You Sit Useless" along with 2 additional previously released tracks "Boy Like A Bruise" and "Carousel House" that will appear on the Touch Heaven.
