Manchester’s Reliquia to release »Fear Of The Light« single on December 9th, 2024!
Manchester-based quintet Reliquia is set to release their highly anticipated single, »Fear Of The Light«, on December 9th, 2024. Combining the darkness of gothic rock, doom metal, and post-punk, Reliquia’s new single showcases their distinctive sound rooted in both the ethereal beauty and heavy intensity of gothic music.
Reliquia, formed in 2023, takes inspiration from the brooding atmospheres of iconic bands like The Sisters Of Mercy, Fields Of The Nephilim, and The Mission, while blending elements of heavy gothic doom bands such as Katatonia, Paradise Lost, and My Dying Bride. »Fear Of The Light« embodies their ability to weave melancholic melodies with crushing doom riffs, creating a sound that is both haunting and empowering.
With influences spanning from post-punk and darkwave to gothic and doom metal, Reliquia’s sound is perfect for fans of Paradise Lost, Tribulation, and Fields of the Nephilim. Their dark yet melodic approach is sure to captivate listeners as they continue to carve out their place in the gothic rock/metal scene.
