While it’s true that people can neither be calmed nor haunted by this EP, the essence emitted by every track and what one may feel after listening to them is unique. “Sun to Rise” is warm all throughout, but it may get too warm and stripped down that you’d feel unsettled and cold. The point […]

Let’s get this out of the way: Invictus knows what they’re doing. You can tell from the first few seconds of “Look At Me” that this four-piece band from Cavite City has done their homework. The guitars are tight, the mix is clean, and the energy hits like a Red Horse on an empty stomach.
