I Need Some Sunshine - is an interesting blend of melody and an experimental approach to sound. The track stands out with its structure: effortless harmonies smoothly transition into unexpected instrumental accents, creating an atmosphere of subtle mystery. The restrained and heartfelt vocals complement the overall picture, adding depth without being distracting. 

Overall Impression: 

Raw and red hot, I Need Some Sunshine by Brother Magh rips the door right off of its hinges. This heavy new Hard Rock song is filled with gritty guitars, rough vocals, and approachable lyrics. The vocal melody often follows the guitar riffs, pounding the madness into the listener's skull. This is a very effective method of making sure nobody forgets the song, but does make it the most sinister kind of ear worm. Brother Magh's vocals are guttural and cutting. He throws down with a brutal sound, and narrowly avoids an otherworldly quality. The lyrics swirl around the idea of overcoming pain and strife. Anyone who has needed to be tough, but still found themselves in need of something or someone to help them through will surely relate to Brother Magh's lyrics in his cutting new Hard Rock song I Need Some Sunshine.

Strongest Point(s):

This song makes no apologies, nor does it try to fit into a certain mold. It has a long running length, multiple sections of instrumental work and repeats of the chorus, and it is always right on the edge. It is very in your face, but still manages to avoid being explicit. It would work as an introduction to DIY Hard Rock music without losing any of the edges that genre is known for.

Music Review 'Stardust and Soul Retrieval'

Overall Impression
"Stardust and Soul Retrieval", the latest progressive metal EP by artist Brother Magh is an undeniably thought-provoking listening experience, one that pushes the boundaries of its sound with its unique blend of industrial intensity and progressive musical experimentation. The EP envelops the listener in a dark, immersive atmosphere, creating a sense of weight and gravity that is both compelling and inescapable. Powered by an irrefutably hard-hitting sense of attitude and sheer riff-fueled intensity, "Stardust and Soul Retrieval" serves as a profound exploration of identity, defiance, and existential reflection, set against a backdrop of cosmic and mythological imagery that's sure to entice listeners even further into its profound thematic musings.

Strongest Point(s)
I think it's safe to say that the heart and soul of the track are the undeniably poignant themes it explores. The song's lyrics delve into themes of cosmic identity and inner strength. "With the dragon's breath inside us, we are made of Stardust," the vocalist proclaims, drawing on mythical and celestial imagery to explore the idea of inherent power and resilience. Stardust and Soul Retrieval" weaves a complex narrative of personal transformation, cosmic identity, and the struggle for recognition and meaning. Brother Magh grapples with conflict, pride, and a powerful sense of shared cosmic heritage, using mythological references to emphasize one's resilience and inherent worth. The repetition of being "made of Stardust" highlights a unifying, yet denied, truth of shared human experience. As the music progresses, the focus shifts inward, exploring themes of isolation, artistic expression, and existential angst. Brother Mag goes on to explore his inner world, using art as a means of coping and attempting to leave a lasting impact, despite feeling overwhelmed by the emptiness and futility of existence.

The music itself, an ever-shifting mosaic of continually-changing sonic textures, hard-hitting riffs, and atmosphere-inducing sound design, manages to effectively mirror the themes Brother Magh explores in his lyrics, and as a result, the music feels as if it's in a constant state of fluctuation. This allows the music to evolve and tonally shift in a myriad of interesting ways, helping to helping to not only keep listeners firmly on their toes but also provide them with a soundscape that is never at risk of feeling stagnant or repetitive.

I Need Some Sunshine (Lyrics) - Brother Magh

Lyrics for the song 

I NEED SOME SUNSHINE 

by Brother Magh 

written and produced by Kip Batiz

find more Magh

From behind these walls, looking for applause
lurking in the halls,  like a spider crawls
in its voided eyes, much to my surprise
it dropped from the skies, where the ego dies
but im so far away, from these pearly gates
questioning my faith, learn from my mistakes
like a magic wand, all the shadows gone
new light breaks the dawn, ive waited so damn long

something dont feel right, i need some sunshine in my life
you seem so far away i can not cross the gate
the ending in sight, i need some sunshine in my life
start with the end in mind

learning to love myself, learning to build my well
put my pain on a shelf, for all to see my hell
"how dare you show your face", if i am such disgrace
why are you at my place, asking for my grace
i have had enough, of it going rough
you wanna test how tough, then pack up all your stuff
and just hit the road, let the tail unfold
because the devil knows, ill never sell my soul

something dont feel right, i need some sunshine in my life
you seem so far away i can not cross the gate
the ending in sight, i need some sunshine in my life
start with the end in mind 

Sic Vita Est - Lyrics by Brother Magh

SIC VITA EST (Lyrics):

Come with me want to see 

buried deep consciously 

memories stick with me 

I will bleed endlessly

I think it's time to put all this pain behind me 

I think it's time for me to let it go 

I see you lie to keep all this pain around you 

I speak the words out loud to let it know 

I used to keep the pain just bottled up inside me 

It took the strength of will to carve it out 

I see the flame with The Inferno just beside you 

I hope the sheets at night will give you warm 

lie to yourself and all of the ones around you 

rehearsing all that crap won't make it true 

not understanding why you need their validations 

not getting loved at night has got you Blue

sic vita est

Come with me if you 

want to see what is 

very deep 

subconsciously 

these are memories 

they must stick with me

though i, i will bleed 

this endlessly

sic vita est

Now when the smoke has settled all the way around you 

I see a piece of me thats dead and gone 

no longer will I hold this space you take for granted 

i spit my feelings out to a song 

all of these Jars of Clay i place around my alter 

they get the demons out of Avalon 

I resurrect my anger through this holy fountain 

Lazarus speaks the words and then he's gone 

fight with me tooth and nail to stay outside the coffin 

with iron spikes I drive into the ground 

Whispers of pure unbridled rage well up inside me

ive been so lost and now im never found 

I think it's time to put all this pain behind me 

I think it's time for me to let it go 

I see you lie to keep all this pain around you 

I speak the words out loud to let it know 

I used to keep the pain just bottled up inside me 

It took the strength of will to carve it out 

I see the flame of The Inferno just beside you 

I hope the sheets at night will give you warm 

Sic Vita Est

Come with me if you 

want to see what is 

buried deep 

sub-consciously 

these are memories 

they must stick with me

though i, i will bleed 

this endlessly

Phenomenal Anomaly - Lyrics by Brother Magh

PHENOMENAL ANOMALY (Lyrics):

I'm so close to this
I don't want to go
every breath in this
it's hard to swallow
on the edge again
only way to feel
look around to see
fate is all too real
most of my time is
spent inside my art
take a look around
what's inside my heart

so phenomenal, this anomaly

Every side does not
even want to be
every part of me
doesn't want to leave
carve my heart from stone
just to be alone
it's so empty here
what's the fu**ing use

so phenomenal, this anomaly

Anytime I think how it used to be
it drags up the pain pain I hold so deep
when it's time to go I'll be there waiting
transcribe my whole life into little things
to make into art thinking just maybe
I would leave a mark to remember me
how unkind is fate all too misleading
it's so empty here what's the fu**ing use

Every word I write
every line I paint
every song I sing
thinking (hoping) it's too late
when I start to feel
any apathy
it is time to bleed
it all out of me
when it's time to shift
my reality
no one comes along
it's too sad to speak
it's so empty here what's the fu**ing use
it's so empty here what's the fu**ing use

Stardust - Lyrics by Brother Magh

STARDUST (Lyrics):

I have become 11
to break away from the seven
you spit in my face because
you think you've already won
I warned you twice
that's not a lie in disguise
you fell succumb to Pride
my turn to take you all out in one swipe

With the dragons breath inside us we are made of Stardust
Forged in the flame of Tartarus we are made of Stardust
I can see your beauty because we are made of Stardust
why do they still deny us we are made of Stardust

I almost ki**ed your friend you know
you should be watching your fu**ing mouth
you tried to punk me in my own home
since then been quiet as a mouse
still think you got me played
should have stayed in school cuz you went back a grade
that nervousness you feel
shatter your illusion of control is so real

With the dragons breath inside us we are made of Stardust
Forged in the flame of Tartarus we are made of Stardust
I can see your beauty because we are made of Stardust
why do they still deny us we are made of Stardust
