SEETHING AKIRA release their video for the fab ‘Sunflower Shadows’, taken from their latest album ‘Cancel Estate‘, which is out now.
Hitting a slightly more mellow note than their usual fare, Seething Akira offer up their video for the rather fabulous ‘Sunflower Shadows‘. This single shows a much more positive perspective from the sextet, whilst still displaying that signature level of aggression.”
Seething Akira are a band built on the foundations of connection, sharing something special with a stranger and forming a bond that lasts a lifetime. Taking the most gloriously crushing parts of metalcore and joyfully triumphant elements of EDM and smashing them together with lashings of British grit, determination and cheek, they craft a uniquely vibrant experience. Delivering as many breakdowns that could cut diamonds as techno breaks that wouldn’t sound out of place in the clubs of Berlin, they strive to unite two worlds with more in common than many think.
Inspired by the swell of the pit as much as the heat of the dancefloor, movement is encouraged, but so is critical thought. Though the band’s music straddles the shoulders of the community proudly, it is when they are on stage together that it truly comes to life. They’ve shared their hopeful philosophy with everyone from Don Broco and Ingested to Skindred, Killswitch Engage and Sleep Token, as well as decimating stages at Download, Bloodstock and Victorious. And each performance they been a part of has been viewed as a blessing, a chance to change someone’s perspective with the euphoria they have forged. There is no barrier between the band and the crowd, they are one in these moments
“The band is growing in maturity with each release…. everyone will already be singing along to Resilient and Sunflower Shadows. If you’d said last decade that the party band of the 2020s was going to be an anime inspired nu metal band blending hardcore and dubstep no one would have believed you, but here we are.”

“Every track on the album is incredible and unique, and they combine perfectly. It’s 34-minutes of interesting, awesome modern metal that doesn’t hold anything back and wears its inspirations on its sleeve proudly. I’mma be spinning this a lot in the coming weeks and months and can’t wait to hear some of this live!”
Overtone Mag
“The album continues with banger after banger, dropping ten tracks that are musically clever, lyrically superb, and sonically satisfying. The elements of EDM are always present. But the use of low and heavy guitars and rumbling bass coupled with pounding drums make this an album that’s going to appeal to a huge range of people, melding together two worlds that couldn’t be further opposite if they tried!”
Ever Metal
“With their adrenaline-fuelled approach, they tore the Bloodstock arena apart, and the masses responded in kind with pits and circles aplenty.”
Bloodstock Main Stage: MetalTalk
“They are a band that need to be seen to be believed, especially in the live environment where they truly thrive, being in their element.”
