“Reaper’s Gale” sees Hanoi’s Rêvasseur doubling down on cohesion, craft, and conviction. Across 42 minutes, the band balance melodic death metal tradition with subtle modern influences, pristine in-house production, and a strong narrative arc. An album meant to be experienced whole, not consumed in fragments.
A rare Monday eruption of punk and hardcore energy hit Saigon as ElbowDrop, Bim Bim, 9xactly, BIB, and Cút Lộn delivered nonstop chaos. From Hanoi punk grit to US hardcore ferocity, the night built wave after wave of pits, stage dives, and unfiltered energy.
A flawlessly executed DIY spectacle at Golden Bird’s saw the collective deliver one of the tightest, most emotionally charged nights of the year from ambient soundscapes and fragile debuts to hip-hop chaos, math-rock precision, and a climactic Noschool inferno.
Rêvasseur charge forward with “L’honneur Et Le Gloire,” a triumphant new visual released via House of Ygra and the latest glimpse of their upcoming album “Reaper’s Gale.” A fierce ode to honour, defiance, and carving one’s own path, it sets the stage for a storming month-end release.
“Tối Thượng” expands The Flob’s vision through an inventive blend of rock and Vietnamese folk elements. Rich in ideas and standout moments, the album explores bold collaborations and historical inspiration, even as its shifting tones occasionally soften the cohesion of its broader narrative.
The Flob return with “TỐI THƯỢNG,” a genre-blending odyssey of dubstep, breakbeat, rock, and Vietnamese ethno sounds. Expanding their fictional universe while pushing sonic boundaries, the Saigon powerhouse marks a new high point ahead of their 2026 Đại Đồng tour.
