Roseneath - Shine Review

The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Taking influence from 90s Alt. Classics, modern grunge, postcore, and shoegaze…

Immediately after pressing the play button, the listener is welcomed to the opening track, Blurred & Bent. This track welcomes the listener’s ears with its Nirvanaium instrumental/atmosphere energy and raw emotional vocals, drawing the listener straight into the music.

As one continues their journey, one encounters this modern sound of grunge—yet it captures the soul essence of classic 90s alternative rock music, post-hardcore, and shoegaze.

Being a two-piece band, one thing is sure: both members bring the album alive with their creative, loud-mesmerising sound and vibrant atmosphere. At the same time, one of the members—Jason —is no stranger to us; Jason is from another project called Breaths, which blends shoegaze, black metal, post-hardcore, and prog metal. One will find these elements (omitting the black metal and adding some light touches of prog metal) within Shine.

Simultaneously, the album creates and delivers captivating, equally solid, strongly composed songs and music that is breathtakingly beautifully composed along with the music being well-organised/written. Altogether creating an enjoyable, entertaining piece —neither dull nor boring/repetitive— (again) defining the genre/style classification of combining various compositions/ characteristics of creating something unique by combining multiple elements and enveloping the five tracks together with perfection (well-balanced, each piece doesn’t overpower each other)

Roseneath guitar artistry of driving riffs with soaring melodies/hypnotic chorus sections, raw-soaring-emotional vocals and choruses buried within the music. A soundscape that captures the dirty/dry and mesmerising ethereal atmosphere, dreamy and mellow textures of shoegaze, driven drum beats/patterns and sometimes the album captures this alternative pop (upbeat and powerful) sound/atmosphere.

The raw energy sound of grunge/post-hardcore -together is provided by awe-inspiring devilmanship and a release that’s genuinely transfixing and entertaining (surprising) from the moment of play. It draws the listener deep within the music – not to be missed -but also can appeal to a wide range of listeners.

The album comes to an end with the last song, song name We want to give a shoutout to Roseneath for letting us review their album, Shine. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.

The Last Three Sins

The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia: Is that for us, Roseneath showcases the writing of tight-sounding rock music and is fearless in experimenting with its music, sound, etc. The whole composition is -without words, how to express my feeling for the Shine

The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:

The artwork is very alternative

The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:

Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of Roseneath, and their album Shine.
