What do you get when you have a band with members of The Sleeping and Coheed And Cambria?? Why you get the band Held. of course and on May 15, 2026, they released their debut album Grey. Let’s take a look…..
Again as I’ve said in other reviews, 2026 has given us a lot of great albums and this is most certainly one of them. Now I have to give credit where credit is due here and my podcast cohost and friend Brian of Audioeclectica is actually the one that turned me on to this band/album. I remember he sent me the first couple of singles and I liked what I heard and decided to check out the rest of the album. There is just something that is strangely appealing about this album. After reading the lyrics, you can absolutely tell how personal these songs are yet at the same time, being very anthemic. Musically, it’s heavy, spacey, and there is definitely a little something for everyone. Now while this album doesn’t reinvent the wheel or anything like that, it feels like a breath of fresh air. This is definitely one of those albums that once it ends, makes you go back to track one and start again. As I said, 2026 has given us some great music and this is one that I would highly recommend!!! I’ll give this album 9/10
Standouts: New You Anthem, Defending The Earth, Waves Of Fire
