Violent Vira - Lover Of A Ghost (2025)

Vira’s voice shifts effortlessly from haunting softness to full-throated aggression, lending the album both vulnerability and power. The production balances heavy guitars and drums with melodic hooks and dramatic emotional build-ups, making tracks feel personal and cinematic. While some moments lean heavily into genre tropes, the sincerity of the songwriting and the intensity of execution elevate it beyond formula. For fans of emotionally charged alternative metal with guts and heart, this album delivers a compelling statement.
