Tracklist

10 tracks // Side A + B
01 Children of the Red Room Side A
Origin

Inspired by Stranger Things, this song was built as the album's ignition point: a rush into a red-lit world where reality feels thin and danger feels magnetic.

Theme

It turns paranoia, youth and rebellion into adrenaline. Fear becomes energy, and the unknown becomes something to challenge instead of escape.

Style

Fast, riff-driven hard rock and metal with a sharp hook, dirty attitude and a chorus designed to hit immediately.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

02 Dreams of Collapse Side A
Origin

Inspired by Inception, this track was written around the image of a world folding in on itself from the inside out.

Theme

It deals with instability, control, illusion and the feeling of losing your grip on what is real. Every step forward feels like it could give way beneath you.

Style

Groovy metalcore with hypnotic riffs, midtempo weight, cinematic tension and a breakdown that feels like the floor disappearing.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

03 Unbound in Fire Side A
Origin

Inspired by Django Unchained, this song was built around dust, broken chains and the violent force of reclaiming your own name.

Theme

It is about liberation through confrontation. Freedom is not given here — it is taken, burned for, and carried forward through pain.

Style

Southern groove metalcore with a dirty hard rock edge, heavy midtempo pressure and a defiant, anthemic chorus.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

04 Fifth Flame Side A
Origin

Inspired by The Fifth Element, this track began as the idea of one final force strong enough to cut through chaos and darkness.

Theme

It is about ignition, transformation and hope as power. What looks fragile at first becomes the one force capable of changing everything.

Style

Explosive female-fronted metalcore with fast riffing, bright melodic lift and a huge chorus that feels both triumphant and destructive.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

05 Oath in Blood Side A
Origin

Inspired by Vikings, this song was shaped around the image of a promise made under pressure and paid for in violence.

Theme

It explores loyalty, pride, honor and the brutal cost of standing by your word. Every vow becomes heavier once blood is tied to it.

Style

Midtempo metalcore and hard rock with heavy riffs, gritty vocals, punchy hooks and a chorus built for weight and resolve.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

06 Bullet Kissed Lies Side B
Origin

Inspired by Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, this track was written as a slick collision of noir tension, performance and manipulation.

Theme

It is about truth as a weapon and charm as camouflage. Everyone is acting, everyone is selling a version of the story, and nothing stays clean for long.

Style

Riff-driven hard rock with metalcore punch, fast groove, spoken-word swagger and a sharp, catchy chorus.

Preview clip — full track on the album.

07 The Sewer Crown Side B
Origin

Inspired by IT, this song began with the idea that fear does not live above ground — it waits underneath, patient and intimate.

Theme

It deals with mental collapse, buried trauma and the moment when the thing you fear most starts to feel like part of you.

Style

Dark midtempo metalcore with haunting atmosphere, emotional hooks, heavy dynamic shifts and a chorus that feels both vulnerable and dangerous.

0:000:00

Preview clip — full track on the album.

08 White Cross Divide Side B
Origin

Inspired by American History X, this track was built as one of the album's harshest emotional confrontations.

Theme

It is about ideology, guilt, damage and consequence. Nothing here is glorified; the song looks directly at the poison people carry and the wreckage it leaves behind.

Style

Dirty urban groove metalcore with heavy low-end weight, bleak tension and a raw emotional edge that stays grounded and human.

0:000:00

Preview clip — full track on the album.

09 Ashes We Called Brothers Side B
Origin

Inspired by Band of Brothers, this song was written from the feeling of carrying people with you long after they are gone.

Theme

It explores brotherhood, loss, guilt and memory. It is not only about survival, but about what remains after survival becomes its own burden.

Style

Emotional midtempo metalcore with southern hard rock influence, strong melodic lift and a chorus built to feel heavy, human and lasting.

0:000:00

Preview clip — full track on the album.

10 Gravity's Lament Side B
Origin

Inspired by Interstellar, this final track was built around distance, time and the crushing pull of what cannot be held onto.

Theme

It is about longing, separation and the weight of love when everything around it bends or breaks. The song closes the album in suspension rather than resolution.

Style

Atmospheric groove metal and heavy hard rock with a repetitive, hypnotic core riff, strong emotional tension and a sense of slow, unavoidable descent.

The story

The world of Fractured//Realms.

FRACTURED//REALMS is built from ten broken worlds — fear, guilt, power, loyalty, love, rebellion and collapse. Each song takes the emotional core of a film-inspired idea and reshapes it into Glitch & Grief's own language: female-fronted modern metal, hard rock pressure, groove and cinematic darkness.

Musically, the record pushes the project's signature blend of modern metalcore, hard rock, groove metal and melodic tension into its most refined form so far. Massive riffs, heavy low-end pressure, sharp hooks and raw vocal intensity collide with cinematic atmosphere and visual storytelling. The result feels both immediate and expansive: aggressive enough to hit hard on first listen, but layered enough to keep opening up over time.

From the sarcastic, red-lit defiance of Children of the Red Room, to the hypnotic collapse of Dreams of Collapse, the violent freedom of Unbound in Fire, the radiant destruction of Fifth Flame and the emotional weight of Ashes We Called Brothers, every track carries its own identity while remaining part of the same shattered universe. White Cross Divide, The Sewer Crown, Bullet Kissed Lies, Oath in Blood and Gravity's Lament deepen that world even further, moving through psychological unrest, urban darkness, ritualistic violence and cosmic loss.

This vinyl edition gives FRACTURED//REALMS the physical form it deserves. The artwork reflects the album's core vision: fractured surfaces, ember-lit cracks, noir darkness and a sense that something immense is breaking open beneath the surface. The project itself is rooted in a transparent AI-assisted creative process, combining human direction with tools like ChatGPT, Suno and Veo to build songs and visuals that feel intentional, crafted and emotionally real.

“FRACTURED//REALMS is made for listeners who want more than background noise. It is for people who want weight, atmosphere, hooks, pressure and songs that feel like they were forged in conflict. If you are into female-fronted modern metal with hard rock swagger, groove-heavy impact and a dark cinematic edge, this record belongs on vinyl.”
