LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE Unveils Emotional New Single “Night Wept”

Feb 14, 2025

Rising from the vibrant Atlanta music scene, LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE is excited to announce the release of their emotionally charged new single, “Night Wept.” This track is a deep dive into the tempestuous personal experiences of frontman Andrew Spann, featuring an expansive soundscape that showcases the band’s evolution.

“Night Wept” starts off with a dissonant, angular riff that quickly unfolds into an atmospheric spoken word passage, setting the stage for an explosive blend of blackened blast beats and sludge-laden breakdowns, culminating in a cinematic post-rock finish. The track navigates the tumult of a deeply personal narrative, recounting a harrowing evening of public confrontation and the raw brinkmanship with despair, only to be interrupted by an unexpected moment of solace brought by Spann’s dog.

This single stands out as the band’s most ambitious work, merging their signature post-rock beauty with some of the heaviest guitar and bass tones they’ve ever recorded. Drummer Jonathan Balsamo delivers a performance filled with blistering speed and technical prowess, perfectly complementing the complexity of the emotions conveyed.

Since their inception in 2021, LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE has captivated audiences with their unique blend of electronics, harsh noise, and samples, alongside death metal-inspired drumming and vocals reminiscent of 90’s emotional hardcore. Their intense live performances are marked by an immersive aesthetic that includes minimal stage banter, reduced lighting, and a direct engagement with the audience, creating an atmosphere of controlled chaos.
