3 Feb
Summary
- Poppy's seventh album, 'Empty Hands,' marks her heaviest and darkest release yet.
- Producer Jordan Fish (formerly of Bring Me the Horizon) co-created the album.
- The album showcases Poppy's vocal agility from fanged shrieks to majestic wails.
Poppy, the artist formerly known as a satirical internet persona, has solidified her place in the metalcore scene with her seventh album, "Empty Hands." This latest release, co-produced by Jordan Fish, known for his work with Bring Me the Horizon, pushes her sound to new extremes, featuring heavier breakdowns and quirkier sonic fusions.
Her acrobatic vocals, capable of shifting from fierce screams to powerful wails, are a highlight on "Empty Hands." Tracks like "Unravel" and "Guardian" demonstrate her command over metal-tinged pop-rock, offering satisfyingly melodic, yet powerful, singalongs. The album embraces a significantly darker and more abrasive tone than her previous work.
"Empty Hands" ventures into territory that may challenge casual fans, with intense tracks like "Dying to Forget" and "Bruised Sky." The title track, a deathcore rager, culminates the album with blastbeats and extreme-metal squeals, showcasing the full extent of Poppy's evolution into a formidable metal artist.
