In The Afterglow‘s This Betrayal is a masterclass in heavy shoegaze with an uplifting edge. Taken from their debut EP And Miles To Go Before I Sleep, the track packs a punch with its thunderous, reverb-soaked guitars and dreamy yet forceful vocals. The song builds up with a dynamic wall of sound, layering shimmering riffs and pounding drums that create an intense, atmospheric feel. It’s a powerful blend of heaviness and hope, capturing that bittersweet moment when the weight of betrayal gives way to a sense of rising above it.
A must-listen for fans who crave emotional depth in their shoegaze with a powerful, uplifting drive.
