Afterbliss – Screaming Out Love (2025)
Afterbliss, the dynamic Irish band known for their innovative fusion of melodic rock, hard-hitting riffs, and indie synth-pop, are back with a blistering new single, ‘Screaming Out Love’. This track marks the first release from their forthcoming album, Separated At Birth By Popular Demand, slated for release on April 25.
Formed in 2019, Afterbliss quickly became known for their unique and genre-blending sound, which has drawn comparisons to major acts like Muse and The Killers. With a lineup featuring Evan Cassidy on vocals, Alex Burcea on lead guitar and synth, Jay O’Gorman on rhythm guitar, Shane Waldron on bass, and Ally Pender on drums, Afterbliss has developed a style that is both anthemic and introspective – an irresistible mix of high-energy rock and thought-provoking lyrics.
‘Screaming Out Love’ encapsulates everything that has made Afterbliss one of the most exciting acts to emerge from Ireland in recent years. From the first note, the track grabs your attention with a powerful, throbbing bassline that immediately sets the stage for what’s to come. It’s a song that builds momentum with each passing second, blending synths and electrifying guitar riffs into a rich tapestry of sound. Cassidy’s soaring vocals inject the song with emotion, effortlessly gliding from impassioned highs to delicate, haunting lows.
The track’s lyrics are both personal and universal, exploring themes of love, longing, and self-discovery. It feels as though ‘Screaming Out Love’ is the sound of someone standing at the crossroads of uncertainty and emotional clarity, shouting out into the void and hoping for a response. The blend of electronic and rock elements amplifies this emotional journey, making it not just a song but a sonic experience.
What makes Afterbliss so compelling is its ability to balance the power of rock with the finesse of electronic music, creating something that’s equally suited to both stadiums and intimate venues. The track also serves as a perfect precursor to the band’s upcoming album, Separated At Birth By Popular Demand, which promises to continue the evolution of their sound while further showcasing their ability to blend genres in unexpected and exciting ways.
‘Screaming Out Love’ is a track that showcases Afterbliss’s maturity as a band, bringing a level of depth and emotion that sets them apart in the current musical landscape. As they continue to carve their path in the world of modern rock and indie synth-pop, this single is a reminder that Afterbliss is an act worth keeping an eye on.
