Hail The Sun - Elephantitis
Review by Hugo Kerckhoffs
Hail The Sun's latest album Elephantitis has been a highly anticipated release for fans of the band's unique brand of progressive post-hardcore. The album showcases the band's technical prowess and intricate songwriting, while also exploring deeper themes of mental health and personal growth.
The opening track "Fanfare" sets the tone for the album with its explosive energy and intricate guitar work. This is followed by "Paranoia," a song that explores the anxiety and self-doubt that can plague the mind. The album continues to delve into these themes with tracks like "Made Your Mark" and "Slowing Down to Reflect," which offer a more introspective and reflective tone.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Glass: Half Empty," which features powerful vocal performances and a driving rhythm section. The song tackles the difficult subject of addiction and the struggle to overcome it.

The amount of ads is ridiculous
HAIL THE SUN
I love hail yhe sun
Would make a good anime intro lol
rare to find songs not slammed together sounding like mess
some circa dragon force lmfao
FUCKING SOLDIERS
An absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. Even the mixing - everything is so clear and precise despite the mind-boggling complexity layered together. Still have to pick my jaw up off the floor every time I get to the end.
This was so far ahead of my music preference at the time. I was still hung on DTBMII. Interesting how tastes develop later in life. Quality music Donovan. I always admired your vocal abilities and coordination.
that little guitar run at 2:12 sounds almost exactly like a guitar run from one of The Fall of Troy songs.. can't remember the exact song, but I believe it's from the Phantom on the Horizon EP
I don't mean to hate on their new stuff but this feels so much more natural to me.. very nostalgic to listen to.
Hands down the greatest Post Hardcore EP ever created
It’s 2020 and I still love this album. Saw them love once best thing ever
??
give it captions please
The first song is about sex, the second song is about men who prey on women, the third song is questions about death, the fourth song is about killing somebody, still can't figure out what the fifth song is about though.
"They say the grass is always greener; until i spray the pesticide!"
Pessimistic + icide? Genius wordplay. But did he realize it?
