    Episode 88: Ben Lumber ( Vocals) & Alex Freeman (Guitar) Acres Interview
    Jan 24 2025
    Following the incredible success and adoration received from 2019’s stunning debut ‘Lonely World’, a record that harnessed melody and melancholy to devastatingly gorgeous effect, Acres found themselves playing the biggest shows of their career so far and achieving things they had only previously dreamt about. But when the world around them suddenly felt so uncertain, they had a choice to make of what they should do next. Instead of rushing out with something that they didn’t fully believe, they locked themselves away and painstakingly created something that not only represented where they had been but also where they wanted to end up. The result is ‘Burning Throne’, a crushing, cathartic and perfectly crafted account of what it means to stare into your own oblivion and learn about who you really are from it. Not only showcasing some of the band’s heaviest material to date but also their most poignant and honest, it is a body of work that the band have injected every ounce of their soul into as well something that they are immensely proud to have as a vital part of their story. I got to sit down with members Ben and Alex before they hot the stage in The Academy in Dublin where we tal;ked about their expierience in Dublin, the recording process for their EP, 'What It's Like To Feel Worthless', and their upcoming tour with The Devil Wears Prada in April. With great stories, chats and banter this is not one to be missed. Avalible on all streaming platforms.

    Orbiter is a heavy psych and doom metal band hailing from Helsinki in Finland. The band blend together heavy riffs with soaring vocals and haunting psycedelia.
