There’s a weight to Black Hole Heart, the debut album from Baltimore’s Dead Eyes — the kind that comes from nearly a decade of building, breaking, and starting over. Out now via Thriller Records, the record feels like the band finally exhaling after holding their breath for years.
If you’ve been following Dead Eyes, you’ll know they’ve made a name turning personal wreckage into anthems. Black Hole Heart doesn’t shy away from that. It’s emotional, explosive, and unafraid to bleed a little. The focus track, “Turn The Lights Off,” might be their most gripping yet, all crashing riffs and raw confession, the sound of someone staring straight into the void and daring it to stare back.
“This record means the world to us,” frontman Zach Williams says. “It represents close to a decade of work and everything that it took to get to this moment. It’s about holding something so close that it breaks.” You can hear that heartbreak in every corner of the album — but also the resilience, the refusal to be swallowed by the dark.
It’s heavy, yes, but Black Hole Heart shines in its humanity. For anyone who’s ever felt like they’re clawing their way out of something — this is your soundtrack.
