Spotlights 'Alchemy For The Dead'
Spotlights return with their fourth full-length album, 'Alchemy For The Dead', a masterful exploration of the delicate balance between light and darkness. The trio—Mario Quintero (guitar, vocals, keys), Sarah Quintero (bass, vocals), and Chris Enriquez (drums)—crafts a sound that shifts between metallic catharsis and sweeping distortion, with melodic vocals and intricate sonic layers breathing at the center. Written and recorded after their move to Pittsburgh, the album delves into universal themes of mortality and introspection, offering a hauntingly personal and evocative experience.
Determined not to repeat themselves, Spotlights push their creative boundaries with 'Alchemy For The Dead', incorporating new sounds and textures alongside their signature crushing yet atmospheric style. The result is cathartic yet suffocating, blending expressive vulnerability with an otherworldly sonic intensity. By embracing both the dark and the light, the album redefines their sound, breaking exciting new ground while maintaining the emotional depth that sets them apart.
