"Cascades explores elements of crushing hardcore and experimental noise, with rich orchestral swells of analog synthesisers and a strong underlying melodic thread. 

The band aims to reflect the struggle to maintain hope and positivity in a world poisoned by human greed, and tap into the crippling anxiety and powerlessness many of us feel about modern life in a society rife with fear and dread.

The band’s music nods to both the mesmerising atmospheres of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Earth, and The Cure, and the thundering aggression of bands like Neurosis, Tragedy and Converge.

The end result delivers passages of mournful, otherworldly beauty, embracing ambient dreamscapes, and thick, driving, blankets of sound."

Ben talked to Liam White about the start of the band, writing and recording their debut and their lyrical inspiration.
