Reflections

Reflections creates a sound that is as physically punishing as it is emotionally fragile. They operate in the deep, murky waters of the 'thall' subgenre, where guitars are tuned so low they become percussive textures rather than melodic instruments. The music is defined by its massive, crushing weight, often utilizing Drop F tuning to create a sonic wall that feels like it's collapsing in slow motion.

What sets them apart is the juxtaposition of this extreme mechanical aggression with a deeply human sense of despair. While many of their peers focus on technical wizardry for its own sake, Reflections uses complex polyrhythms and dissonant leads to mirror the internal chaos of mental health struggles and self-reflection. The production is often clinical and sharp, highlighting every jagged edge of the rhythm section.

Start with the album 'Willow' if you want to experience their most uncompromising, heavy sound, or 'The Color Clear' for a more melodic, yet still devastatingly emotional, entry point into their discography.
