Nothing Past Six drops debut album

In war-torn Lebanon, Chadi ABi Chacra escapes the chaos surrounding him with his new music project Nothing Past Six. The sound designer and musician crafts his own style of modern alternative rock blended with ambient textures and experimental flair.

With his introductory release, he brings us his debut album, Don’t Gasp When You Burn, a seven-track offering that meanders from ballads to grittier rock outbursts as he weaves his life experiences into its writing. The record came to life out of a need to feel a certain catharsis, after experiencing a deep dive into anxiety and panic attacks.

Composed in a tumultuous time, for both the artist and his country, with anxiety inducing periods of isolation and intense events of disarray in the heart of Beirut, his struggles translate into the songs allowing for an intimate connection to his own vulnerabilities.

Through the album he paints a picture of inner strife and tells his story from the first very organic song, to the last heavily digitised track, shamelessly being verbal at first and relentlessly exposing the repressed, through means of spontaneous transitions and heart-throbbing crescendos in unexpected moments, all supporting the identity of our anxious generation.

Emotively charged and hypnotically atmospheric, Don’t Gasp When You Burn is an astonishing opener from an artist that displays rare honesty in his creative vision, giving a taste of exciting things to come.
