Music often functions as that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. It provides shelter during any storm and calm in the middle of tumult. 36 Crazyfists understand this phenomenon firsthand. In fact, the Anchorage, AK quartet—Brock Lindow [vocals], Steve Holt [guitar], Mick Whitney [bass], and Kyle Baltus [drums]—find catharsis within chaos on their seventh full-length album and second for Spinefarm, the aptly titled Lanterns.

“Lanterns represent the light we all seek,” explains Brock. “These songs are all about struggling to locate it and trying to find the way to move forward and get past what has mentally hampered you in your life. Everyone deals with depression on some level. It’s a matter of how you’re going to get out of it, put one foot in front of the other, get up, and live in this dark spot. That encompasses the umbrella of the album. I can say I’m much stronger mentally than I was two years ago when we started this.”

2015 saw the release of their Spinefarm debut, Time and Trauma. It crash landed at #2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, a career high, and earned acclaim from Metal Injection, Blabbermouth, Loudwire, Revolver, and more. Meanwhile, the single “Also Am I” racked up over 1.3 million Spotify streams and counting.

The opener “Death Eater” abruptly snaps into gear propelled by gut-punching guitar and airtight percussion before swinging to a hypnotic and haunting refrain. “Wars To Walk Away From” trudges along on a guttural groove as Brock’s voice carries an entrancing and emotive hook.

From the incendiary infectiousness of “Better To Burn” to the plaintive clean guitars of the poignant finale “Dark Corners,” Lanterns sees 36 Crazyfists shining at their brightest. In fact, it also lights the way for their next chapter…
