Hooked
Where love gets dangerous and metal gets honest.
Most love songs play it safe. Most metal songs avoid the heart. "Hooked" says screw that
This track doesn't apologize for mixing crushing groove metal with raw vulnerability. It's built for people who know that real love isn't pretty – it's the kind that pulls you out of your own wreckage and makes you feel alive again.

Hooked

Alone with My Thoughts is a raw, unflinching dive into the fractures of modern life — a heavy alternative rock record where personal battles collide with collective struggles. Each track is a confession, a warning, or a rallying cry, drenched in distortion and carried on riffs that hit as hard as the truths inside them.

The album opens with “In Search of Heroes,” a tragic yet defiant anthem about the everyday fight for dignity and decency. “Sunflowers Standing in Fire” takes resilience as its theme, turning the image of a flower rising from ashes into a symbol of unbreakable hope. “Love Rot” rips through the illusions of romance, exposing the chains, lies, and barbed wire of broken promises.

On “Imposter Syndrome,” isolation is sharpened to a blade — a robot behind a human face, lost in a crowd yet more alone than ever. “Dance Robot Dance” confronts the chaos of misinformation and the rise of machines, mocking our complacency as technology seizes the stage. “Pushing the Limits” explodes as a defiant anthem of persistence, scars and failures forged into fire that burns every obstacle away. The record closes with “My Best Friends the Dead,” a haunting reminder that the voices of the lost still speak — urging us to live, to savor, to resist the emptiness of wasted time.

Together, these songs form a cathartic portrait of a world teetering between collapse and rebirth, between despair and defiance. Alone with My Thoughts is heavy, haunting, and human — a soundtrack for those who battle in silence but refuse to break.
