MIDWINTER Unveil Emotional Collapse With ‘Hourglass’ From New Album ‘A Love I Hope Will Haunt Me Forever’ Out Today!


Progressive metalcore outfit MIDWINTER return with Hourglass, a standout track from their newly released album A Love I Hope Will Haunt Me Forever, which officially dropped today via Papercut. The release marks a major moment for the band, expanding their emotionally charged sound into a full-length statement built on tension, melody, and crushing modern heaviness.

Serving as one of the album’s most impactful cuts, Hourglass leans into the band’s signature blend of atmospheric introspection and progressive metalcore complexity. The track unfolds with a slow-burning emotional weight before escalating into layered instrumentation, shifting time signatures, and tightly wound rhythmic bursts. It captures the feeling of inevitability—like time slipping away faster than it can be grasped—while maintaining a constant undercurrent of urgency and collapse.

Vocally, MIDWINTER push between vulnerability and aggression, moving from melodic restraint into raw, strained screams that heighten the emotional stakes of the song. The performance mirrors the track’s structure, constantly balancing fragility with intensity, never allowing the listener to fully settle before the next shift hits.

With A Love I Hope Will Haunt Me Forever, MIDWINTER solidify their place in the modern progressive metalcore wave, and Hourglass stands as one of its defining emotional anchors—fragile, heavy, and impossible to ignore.
