GAI荄 Unleashes New Single Featuring Mattéo Gelsomino, Launches Final Crowdfunding Push for Debut Album

Vietnam’s rising heavy act GAI荄 teams up with Mattéo Gelsomino (ex-Novelists) on a powerful new single that blends punishing intensity with melodic vulnerability.

Hanoi-based Nü-Deth project GAI荄 just dropped their latest single—a massive collaboration with Mattéo Gelsomino, former vocalist of French progressive metalcore band Novelists—and it’s another step forward in proving that the band is ready for the global stage.

The new track wastes no time making its presence felt. From the opening moments, it hits hard with tight, aggressive instrumentation and relentless vocal delivery. But what truly sets it apart is its dynamic versatility—GAI荄 pulls the listener into emotionally rich territory through atmospheric transitions, melodic instrumentation, and soaring clean vocals that showcase both technical control and raw sentiment.

Mattéo’s signature tone blends seamlessly with GAI荄’s intensity, adding depth to a track that already punches well above its weight. It’s a collaboration that feels natural yet bold—a perfect balance of brutality and introspection.

Alongside the release, GAI荄 is reminding fans that their debut album “You Lie” is currently in its final crowdfunding phase on Kickstarter. The campaign aims to bring the full-length vision of the band to life with the same polish and ambition heard in this latest single.

If this release is any indication, “You Lie” is shaping up to be one of the most compelling heavy records coming out of Southeast Asia.
