Micah Ariss & Chandler Burton Detonate Despair in Their Post-Hardcore Juggernaut, ‘Obliterate’

Obliterate wasn’t written to patch wounds—it rips them wider to let the rawness breathe. Forged in the cataclysmic alliance between Micah Ariss and Chandler Burton, the single detonates heartbreak. With hypersonic post-hard choruses to juxtapose the Mushroomhead-esque verses and a middle eight that will throw you right back to the furore of 00s progressive metal in the vein of Job for a Cowboy, it throws compositional caution to the wind while holding tight to emotional clarity. The choruses bring with them a cathartic release as the mechanical furore slips away and transforms into a sonic imprint which allows light to refract through the darkness and agony that lit the creative spark in the track. As far as breakup tracks go, none hit with the same bruising brutality as Obliterate, and few manage to match the vulnerability that doesn’t hide away in the production—it fuels it as the two collaborators bring the anthem to a fever pitch. Micah Ariss, known for translating emotional decay into melodic defiance, channels the same sense of hopeful rebellion that earned him 20 million Spotify streams and over 300,000 monthly listeners. His reach spans far beyond the Pacific Northwest, with 70 million views and 250K followers […] The post Micah Ariss & Chandler Burton Detonate Despair in Their Post-Hardcore Juggernaut, ‘Obliterate’ appeared first on A&R Factory.
