Los Angeles noise-rock project IN COVERT is set to release their debut album, Bleak Machinery, blending metal, punk, and industrial rock to explore themes of anxiety and dread. Initially a solo endeavor by multi-instrumentalist Wes Lopez, the band now boasts a quartet lineup with veterans from bands like THE WARLOCKS. The album opens with eerie synths and evolves into tracks that oscillate between abrasive and atmospheric, challenging listeners while delivering a haunting experience.
Given the album’s exploration of unsettling emotions and its unique blend of genres, how do you think the juxtaposition of familiar and challenging sounds impacts our emotional response to music?
