Derby Metalcore Rising Stars LOST TO LIGHT Release Debut EP 'Conceal' + Drop "Confess" Video

Derby metalcore newcomers Lost To Light have released their highly anticipated debut EP, Conceal, alongside a video for single "Confess" today via self-release. The EP, acting as the first half of double-EP release, is an urgent and confessional slice of riffy metalcore, primed with raw emotion and a high degree of potency. 

Discussing the EP's release, the band stated: "Everyone experiences times in their life where they are facing challenges internally, whilst to those around them they may seem completely fine. This EP speaks as an example of some of these concealed struggles and offers an open hand to the listener by letting them know they are not alone."

Further, the focus single "Confess" offers up some of the most deeply personal and vulnerable songwriting across the entire EP, with co-lead vocalist Ash Currie continuing: ""Confess" is a song about learning to speak up about not being okay. It’s a song that took me a while to really dive into because it became so personal, it was written during a time where I felt there was no way out and the only thing I could really ask myself was 'how do I tell people that I’m not alright?' which was my confession."

The release of Conceal comes just ahead of the band's performance on the New Blood stage of the year's edition of the legendary Bloodstock Open Air, with the band playing alongside such venerated acts as Architects, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Hatebreed and more. With a huge back half of 2024 ahead for the group, as well as the promise of a second EP to follow, it seems the sky is the limit for Lost To Light.
