Description
The atmosphere, beauty, darkness and depth of Manchester four-piece Parting Gift's black metal roots can be pinpointed throughout their own sound and aesthetic. Combined with the layered shimmer of shoegaze, gorgeous simplicity of indie and bludgeoning weight of post-hardcore, it is a smorgasbord of influences designed to ensnare and enrapture, as displayed on their EP 'Ensom'.
Parting Gift is a place of expression through the emotions that this existence deals out. Be it through love or loss, hatred or hardship, the music exists to be dissected. Using the darkness of the world we live in to create something beautiful is a very special trait and one that lead singer Zac Vernon doesn't take lightly. "As you grow up you realise that the world isn't always a happy place to live in. Speaking from personal experience, I have seen a lot of bad things happen. Going into Parting Gift, I was viewing everything in a really negative light. Even though things have changed now, I can still channel all of that negativity into the way I write. I could be in the best mood but I could still come up with the darkest lyrics. I just couldn't write something happy now."
Ultimately Parting Gift is more than just a band. It is a feeling of release that we all possess. An urge deep inside that wants to break out, letting us be as happy, sad, angry or passionate as we want to be.
Parting gift are: Zac Vernon (vocals), Peter Vybiral (guitars), Jack Dutton (guitars), George Barnes (drums)
