Held. - GREY [Magenta]

GREY finds Held. channeling urgency, reflection, and post-hardcore intensity into a record that feels both deeply personal and defiantly outward-looking.

Built around themes of resilience, identity, and human connection, the album pushes beyond genre boundaries while retaining the raw emotional charge that fuels its core. Pressed on 140g magenta vinyl, this edition gives GREY a striking visual presence that matches the album's vivid emotional palette. The band's willingness to balance heaviness with vulnerability makes this one of their most compelling statements to date.

The record opens with the explosive Defending The Earth before launching into New You Anthem, featuring Frank Iero, a collaboration that amplifies the song's cathartic energy and melodic punch. Constant Tension and the title track Grey showcase the band's knack for pairing driving rhythms with introspective lyricism, while Knifepoint, featuring Graham Sayle of High Vis, adds another layer of urgency and grit to the proceedings.

Musically, GREY thrives on contrast. Waves Of Fire surges with restless momentum, while Through The Cracks and Broken Spacesuit (Decay And Sand) reveal a more atmospheric and reflective side. Throughout the album, soaring melodies collide with jagged guitars and emotionally charged vocals, creating a sound that feels both immediate and expansive.

For collectors and fans of modern alternative and post-hardcore music, this magenta vinyl pressing captures a band unafraid to evolve. GREY is thoughtful without losing its bite, heavy without sacrificing heart, and ultimately a powerful reminder that growth often emerges from uncertainty.
