Almost Alive are stepping into deeper waters. The New Jersey-based, AI-driven rock project has announced the release of ‘Eclipse Within’, as the lead single from the upcoming album ‘Hypnotica’. The track signals a bold evolution in sound — darker, heavier, and built around slow-burning intensity.
Where earlier material emphasized power and immediacy, ‘Eclipse Within’ unfolds with patience. Cinematic progressive rock atmospheres stretch across a modern rock framework, creating a sense of spiritual weight and controlled momentum. It’s music designed to envelop rather than confront, pulling listeners into a carefully constructed headspace.
According to project founder Evan Kanter, ‘Hypnotica’ was created to be experienced front-to-back, drawing inspiration from immersive records by artists like Tool and Nine Inch Nails. The album expands on the groundwork laid by debut release ‘Full Blast’, pushing further into glitchy textures, emotional depth, and AI-assisted production techniques.
With more releases scheduled across the next three months, Almost Alive continues to build a steady and deliberate rollout. ‘Eclipse Within’ doesn’t just introduce a new album — it establishes a vision of rock that embraces technology as a partner in expression, not a replacement for human intensity.
