Break free from the ordinary and dive into the extraordinary with Half Me's new EP *Opium*. This release redefines metalcore by seamlessly blending innovation with tradition, channeling raw frustration with a disposable society. Combining bone-crushing heaviness with anguished, soul-piercing vocals, *Opium* showcases the band's relentless drive to push genre boundaries and marks a bold new chapter in their musical evolution. Out now on Arising Empire, *Opium* raises the bar set by their debut album *SOMA*, which blended a modern take on metal and hardcore with elements of 90s nu-metal. Pounding riffs, crushing breakdowns, and brutal yet elegant vocals fuse together to form Half Me's distinctive and evolving sound.
