Sam Healthyliving is one of those bands that's hard to describe and you just have to hear it for yourself. Somewhere between rock, metal, punk, and everything in between. It's dark and heavy but also light and fun at times. Easily a new favorite band for me. Favorite track: Bloom.

Alice M. I think I found this through… Ashenspire. Completely different, haha.
If you like Messa or anything similar, give this a try. Very consistent as well, even if some tracks really stand out.

Emily Violet Stacked with shimmering post metal melodies that are married beautifully with Carromero's vocals. A new favourite. Favorite track: Dream Hive.

Until 03:04
Keep it like a secret. Safe and warm Lock it in the cellar. Nesting in the shadows of your heart Feathers bright and yellow Until you cough it up Until you rip it from your chest Until you cough it up Keep it like a secret Fearing dawn with clenching jaws Animal eyes and ruthless claws Following but a trail of birds Following but the scent of stones Feels like a gunshot through the spine Digs like the hunger you left unsatisfied Homeless, unwelcome, we abide I’m just the echo. Until you cough it up
2.
Born again. An open door into a world where we are whole. A thousand limbs embrace our flaws. A life rebuilt. The self; forgone. In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join. Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join it´s Eden as a dream Born again, a feeble glow Above the cinders of the mob In silence, overgrown. A steady hand to cull the flock Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join. Do you wanna join In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul In silence, overgrown, neglected garden of the soul Do you wanna join. It’s free. Do you wanna join it´s Eden as a dream

Footsteps dissolve In concrete floors two paths that turn around at the door, (one) slips through me Floodlit streets and Galleries Galleries Open in me Galleries Open in me Paint drips and sets, over the scarred and wrinkled fabric of truth. A burning portrait A drowning face Galleries Galleries open in me galleries Open in me Open and caving in Tracing shadows Walls Tracing shadows Turn gold Glowing scales under the sun
4.
One eye closes one lung sings. One fist opens, two birds dream And) I disappear below layers of soil Just like a seed, I hold delayed weeds. Rake through my flesh, body unbraced Rake through my flesh, body unbraced … Rake through my flesh, body unbraced Rake through my flesh, body unbraced One eye opens.
5.
A coward just like me A coward bred of servitude and loss. Hear, hear A coward learnt their lesson. Never to bow, never to heel. Better beast than prey; guilt to light the way, then turn, the cheek in kindness Blooms and pollinates, never fully undisguised My despair a banquet for the flies To the gallows, in the light of day, in the light of day (And) Here A coward just like me. A shroud of empty words and teeth. A coward just like me. A shroud of empty words and teeth. Binding us in grief. A coward just like me. A coward bred in threats and guilt Can’t hide from me.

Bloom 03:37
My remains; a feathered corpse Taxidermied, outlines of loss My remains; an empty home Glass-like eyes. Gaping holes Feigned forgiveness, awkward pose A frozen sentence, stuck mid-throat Take my things and close the door I’m not gonna come around I’m not gonna come around Take my things and close the door I’m not gonna come around I’m not gonna come around Suspended. Exhaled your white lies carved a yes You can’t take away the love I don’t deserve Take my things and close the door I’m not gonna come around Take my things and close the door I’m not gonna come around Take my things and close the door Take my things and close the door Take my things and close the door

Back To Back 04:21
Miles To go Mail stacked Under the door A Mountain range to welcome us With clouded eyes. Phosphene stars glow We pile it up as silence soars. And disappear. We disappear. Miles Hands down Face up the envelope Hands Hands suddenly appears; an infant reign With clouded eyes by childlike pain We pile it up as silence soars. And disappear. And disappear. Back to back to back to back.
8.
Ghost Limbs 03:53
I’m a crutch I’m your codeine Bandage and arms. Repose and vessel (I’m a crutch). Empty, hollow, dead and dark. (I’m a crutch) With my hands in the earth, let me carve out a borrow (I’m a crutch) With my hands in the earth, let me carve out a safe space, a bed, a grave. With my hands in the earth
9.
Obey 04:49
Wont you obey me? Lips shut, legs crossed If only you loved me enough, you’d do as you’re told Your silence defaces me, nothing comes through Floating in ether, I disconnect, lost language numb To save me. To save me from my own. Nothing to bind me (To) countries I’ve lost (And) still I’ll find you here, at the center of it all To save me. To save me from our own. And save me.
