'These Walls Hold Nothing But The Death Of All That We Hold Dear' Twin Planets Album Review

Release Date: 6th April 2015


Twin Planets are an alternative rock band from Ormskirk in Lancashire. The four-piece formed in 2010, and since then they have released a variety of singles and a self-titled EP. Next month they will be releasing their first full-length album ‘These Walls Hold Nothing But The Death Of All That We Hold Dear’.

The first song on the album is ‘Centipede’, an ominous but upbeat instrumental song which instantly demonstrates Twin Planets’ technical guitar skills.

Second track ‘Space’ is full of beautiful vocals from lead singer James: the harmonies are impressive and enjoyable to listen to. The cheerful song encourages you to escape from your troubles and into a happy mind-set.

The harmless and happy-go-lucky vibe is consistent throughout the entire album, especially in electronic track ‘Divisions’. James’ vocals are melodic yet passionate, merging well with the powerfully catchy chorus.

‘Empires’ has a melodic and harrowing opening, which progresses into a simplistic yet powerful rock song. There is something unique yet familiar about Twin Planets’ musical style, making it almost impossible to compare them to another band.

One of the most impressive things about Twin Planets is their song-writing abilities: each song is expertly written and composed. There are unique elements used in every track on the album, making them able to explore different themes and styles perfectly.

Final track ‘Sirens’ is a brilliant way to end such an impressive album due to the magnificent vocals and hard-hitting lyrics. The easy-listening track allows you to relax and embrace all of the unique elements that Twin Planets use.

If you are looking for upbeat and easy-going music, then ‘These Walls Hold Nothing But The Death Of All That We Hold Dear’ is definitely the album for you.

‘These Walls Hold Nothing But The Death Of All That We Hold Dear’ is released on the 6th April. The release show is on the 3rd April at Bumper in Liverpool and tickets are available via See Tickets.
