This brooding intro sets the stage perfectly for what follows: a bold and intense track where the rhythm section brings a solid, heavy pulse.
As the song unfolds, the vocalist’s entrance feels almost like a brushstroke on a dark canvas, her voice carrying hints of Amy Lee and Cristina Scabbia in its rich texture and sultry depth.
The influences here are unmistakably diverse and expertly blended, with a mix that nods to the raw energy of Korn, the melodic depth of Lacuna Coil, the industrial strength of Rammstein, and even echoes of Alice in Chains in the vocal harmonies.
The result is a hard rock piece with melodic metal undertones, crafting a grand soundscape that feels suited for a dystopian film soundtrack—something like Mad Max or Blade Runner.
Breathe Again is as powerful as an avalanche, leaving an impact that resonates long after the song ends.
The dynamic structure and carefully arranged harmonies demonstrate the duo’s refined compositional skills, making this track a strong recommendation for fans of heavy, evocative music.

Electrifying!
The Despair Collective, hailing from Buffalo, NY, United States, is a dynamic duo consisting of Dana Fogle on bass guitar and synths, and Mike Longo on guitar. Originating as a collaboration between Fogle and studio session artists, the band evolved with Longo joining as a full-time member after their rendition of “Crackerman” in 2022. Embracing influences from 70s rock icons like Queen and Pink Floyd, as well as modern synth-heavy rock bands such as Rammstein, The Despair Collective crafts a unique blend of classic and contemporary rock music.
