About
We are the dark heroes who walk the line between light and shadow, grappling with the challenges of existence. Yet, despite the weight of our own struggles, we carry with us a fierce, collective heartbeat, a big-hearted desire to bring something meaningful into the world. We understand pain, loss, and confusion, but we also know love, hope, and the redemptive power of creativity.
Through our music, film, and vibes, we aim to share the rawness of our journey with you, offering a space for reflection, catharsis, and connection. Every piece of art we create is a mirror, inviting you to see yourself within it—your joys, your fears, your dreams, and your darkest moments.
