These LITM Rock Picks come to you from artists like OTA3D3, By Million Wires, One Last Time, and more!
1. OTA3D3 – MEMENTO MORI (Storm)
From its opening notes, MEMENTO MORI (Storm) establishes a moody, yet outward-looking atmosphere. OTA3D3 – the brainchild of Venezuelan composer and guitarist Orlando Gonzalez – creates a sense of tension with explosive yet paced guitars that do the work of driving the song forward, layered over drums that ground the track while simultaneously giving it depth, structure, and intensity. The perfect instrumental fusion of raw, unbridled energy and thoughtfulness, this track is perfect for fans of rock music that pushes the boundaries of what rock can be, while holding your attention through just instrumentals. Give MEMENTO MORI (Storm) a listen here!
2. By Million Wires – I Know Better
Built around a steady melody that’s almost hypnotic in its repetitiveness, By Million Wires’ I Know Better is emotionally restrained in ways that feel both intimate and vulnerable, as well as distant and expansive. Part of their EP, Over, set to be released on the 1st of May, the song is delivered with softness: it never aims to be grandiose, never claims to be a track that it isn’t. Its subtle, understated, yet always resolute, delivery perfectly mirrors the song’s crux; and as the song progresses at its own pace, Poland-based By Million Wires adds small flourishes and little touches to it that really make a difference!
3. One Last Time – Devil In The Detail
“You'd promise me the Taj Mahal, throw in some jewels / But baby, I can see right through you / Used to fall for your big talk / I see what you do…”
So opens One Last Time’s Devil In The Detail from their 2025 album I Want It All. A sharp and precise pop-rock track with all the polish of some of the biggest name on the scene right now, the track is built on the disillusionment that comes with realising that empty promises are just that: empty. It’s catchy and nthemic to the point that you can imagine scream-singing it at a concert; the devil really is in the details, and One Last Time proves it on this song!
4. Watch Me Die Inside – Melancholy Nektar
Melancholy Nektar opens with a delicate but heavy piano underlining somber vocals; this quickly evolves to become an alt-rock track reminiscent of 2000s emo music while still retaining its own identity. Opening Watch Me Die Inside’s latest single, Infinity Fall II, the track never stagnates – unpredictable changes in tempo mirror a collapse, a descent into madness, and this is only intensified by the growled out scream vocals that remain in the background throughout, giving the track depth and character without sacrificing its message. Overall, it’s the kind of track that feels like an easy listen in its first few moments, but becomes something that’ll challenge you as it takes you on a journey. Listen here!
5. Suzaman – One More Time With Feeling
Suzaman’s One More Time With Feeling is a blend of alternative pop, rock, Americana, and many other influences that all come together beautifully to coalesce into something that keeps you hooked throughout. Created in collaboration with Troy Suza, the track is all about trying again and again, despite what may seem like persistent failure. Built on a steady rhythm, the track is both comforting as well as a little unsettling as you pay closer attention to its lyrics; it encourages introspection through emotional weight, vulnerability, and a style that looks outward and practices reflection, simultaneously.
