Our North surges forward with Everyone For Themselves, a six-track EP that refuses to sit still. By welding metalcore’s aggression with hip-hop production and trap rhythms, the band isn’t chasing trends. They’re retooling them into something that is far more feral and charged.
Opener “Choked To Death” and “Violent Rules” hammer down on instability and power while layering slamming riffs over glitchy beats and hooky vocal turns that flash from throat-shredding rage to near-melodic reprieves. While the title track sets a tone with its blunt force and chaotic clarity, it remains a brutal callout of self-centered survivalism in a fractured world.
But there’s craft beneath the chaos. Tracks like “Above The Water” temper the storm with unexpected shifts, while “Something To Be” threads lyrical confrontation through a tightly coiled structure. The band’s growth shows with every sonic risk calculated and every drop precisely timed.
The band’s says,
This EP delves into contrasting scenarios, exploring the tension between self-preservation and the impact of selfishness on interpersonal relationships. It reflects the complexity of navigating a world where self-interest often clashes with the need for community and empathy.
That statement rings loud and true. These aren’t just aggressive songs for the sake of aggression. They’re built from friction and dragging themes of isolation, ego, and the longing for connection into the pit with them.
With Everyone For Themselves, Our North doesn’t just channel influence. They weaponise it with bone-rattling breakdowns and modern trap-laced metal fury.
