BLACKSHAPE Deliver Haunting Dual Live Performance ‘It’s Easier to Disappear + Break Me’

Salt Lake City’s progressive post-metal collective BLACKSHAPE return with a gripping new live session, presenting ‘It’s Easier to Disappear + Break Me’ in a setting as stark and immersive as their sound. Filmed on the floor of an empty venue, the performance strips away all excess—no crowd, no stage, just the band, their instruments, and an overwhelming sense of emotional gravity. The result is a raw, unfiltered showcase of BLACKSHAPE’s intensely textured sonic world.

The session highlights the band’s signature interplay of towering post-metal atmosphere, intricate rhythmic shifts, and haunting melodic passages. Without the distraction of a traditional live production, the viewer is drawn directly into the music’s ebb and flow—every crescendo hits harder, every quiet moment feels more vulnerable, and every cathartic swell carries weight. It’s a performance built on presence, tension, and the quiet devastation that defines BLACKSHAPE’s craft.

‘It’s Easier to Disappear’ unfolds with slow-burning melancholy, expanding into a tidal wave of dynamic instrumentation that shows the band’s mastery of pacing and emotional control. Seamlessly, the performance transitions into ‘Break Me’, an eruption of aching melody and crushing heaviness that captures the collective’s ability to balance fragility with brute force. Together, the tracks form a portrait of a band unafraid to lean fully into both sorrow and intensity.

With this dual live release, BLACKSHAPE reaffirm their reputation as one of Salt Lake City’s most compelling heavy acts. It’s a striking reminder that even in an empty room, their music fills every inch of space—resonant, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
