Atid is arguably the most powerful statement in Gabriel Balachsan’s songbook—the late artist’s candid self-portraits strike with sheer force on this record. “Devil” starts with a hard rock stomp, unravelling into a raw confessional that spirals into escalating, raw riffs. But the visceral “Honeyed Tranquilizers”—an alt-rock epic clocking in at over 16 minutes—unleashes his awe-inspiring potential where even crushing guitars can’t overpower Balachsan’s heart-shredding lyrical intensity.
