“The Fire Within“ by APEX4X

San Francisco’s alternative rock band APEX4X showcases their unique and diverse sound in their recently released album, “The Fire Within.” Consisting of thirteen genre-fusing tracks, APEX4X takes listeners on a journey unlike any other band. The group’s sound has a nostalgic, 90s-esque feel to it, which fans of bands like Metallica and Evanescence will enjoy. APEX4X’s similarity ends there, though, as their sound is truly unique, guaranteed to garner any music fan’s attention.

Bryan Garaventa is the mind behind APEX4X, his musical project that blends eccentric sounds, thus creating his distinctive style. The album opens with the title track, “The Fire Within,” a moving, captivating rock SONG. The spacey elements sonically create a dazed, ultra-catchy sound. The following track, “The Tease,” features sultry, angelic, yet somewhat foreboding female vocals, which add an ethereal vibe to the project.

Songs like “Haunted” and “Lost in the Fall” showcase Garaventa’s music’s emotional, ballad-like side. His vocals are subtle but poignant, highlighting the many styles he possesses. The emotional depth in APEX4X’s lyrics is sure to resonate with listeners. “Drown my Heart” is a deep-toned, country-rock track, while “Meeting in the Middle” is a pop-rock track, further proving his genre-fusing, never boring sound.

The entirety of “The Fire Within” was written in a two-week “…burst of emotional intensity after a transformative overseas journey.” This journey greatly influenced the album’s sound and themes, adding a unique depth and perspective to the music.
