The UK’s next-wave hard rockers Matted will release their 3rd single ‘Gaslight’ on 7th October 2025.
‘Gaslight’ follows on from their first two singles, ‘Material’ (Feb 2025) and ‘Flowers and Chains’ (Jun 2025) and throws its weight around, revealing an even punchier edge to this innovative band’s developing sound. The 5-piece are influenced by a love of rock music in all its forms.  Grunge, metal, classic, nu, rap, hip-hop and industrial can all be identified here. However, Matted’s fusion of big riffs, melodic vocals and in-your-face drums comes with an irreverence, camaraderie and a cheeky grin creating something fresh and exciting. 

‘Gaslight’ is the third song from the band’s studio sessions with McFly’s Harry Judd and Danny Jones in the producer’s chairs and has been mixed by Lewis Johns. 
Since launching in May 2024, Matted have performed at Download Festival, Call of the Wild and Planet Rockstock, supported Crashface, Armored Saint and Von Hertzen Brothers, and headlined shows in London and Brighton. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing, Total Rock, and Kerrang! Radio, with the latter naming them finalists in The Deal competition 2025.  The hashtag #mattedismassive which the band have adopted, was inspired by an on-air quote from a BBC radio presenter.

🎵 “The Luminous Path” — by Eric Morris
(From the concept album The Fractured Light)
Concept:
After collapse and reflection comes transcendence. The Luminous Path follows the being as it rises from the fragments of its own destruction, learning that perfection was never the goal — only becoming whole through acceptance. It walks forward through the light, each wound glowing as a symbol of what it has overcome. This is rebirth through illumination.
Sound & Style:
Ambient Djent and cinematic post-rock merge into a radiant journey of sound.
Clean, reverberating guitars drift across shimmering synth layers, anchored by deep, pulsing rhythm patterns.
Vocals are emotional and immersive — carrying tones of hope, humility, and discovery.
Think TesseracT’s transcendence, Hammock’s vast atmosphere, and Sleep Token’s spiritual weight — all converging in golden light.
For the Listener:
Walk the luminous path.
Let the sound carry you from ruin to renewal.
Every scar shines. Every step ascends.
