Brighton, Sussex alternative rock powerhouse Veritas Lit have officially landed on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist with two striking new releases — “Sanctuary of the Lost” and their six-minute-plus rock opus “Ruins.” Together, the tracks showcase the band’s distinctive sound: darkly melodic, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

“Sanctuary of the Lost” channels the essence of Evanescence and All About Eve, yet carries its own grit and atmosphere. Opening with slow, haunting sound, the track builds into an epic fusion of ethereal vocals, mammoth epic guitars and powerful cinematic drumming. Its beauty lies in contrast — delicate and angelic one moment, roaring and fierce the next — creating a sound that feels cinematic, soulful, and alive.

“Ruins,” the band’s defining rock opus, runs over six minutes and plays like a dark hymn for the modern age. Orchestral strings and haunting melodies build tension before erupting into a dramatic, Bonnie Tyler-style crescendo. The voice soars with emotion, at times echoing the spiritual power of Turkish star Sertab. It’s poetic, independent, and cinematic — a grand statement that blends rock and symphonic storytelling with fearless creativity. A bold fusion of ethereal vocals, orchestral drama, and rock energy sets Veritas Lit apart.

Both tracks are now featured as a double ROCK SPECIAL Powerplay at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist, airing back-to-back daily for the next month. Across both releases, Veritas Lit have already gained over 50K views on TikTok, with fans praising their cinematic sound and visual artistry.

Discover Music.fm readers are the first to preview the official music video for “Ruins.” The video concept, developed closely with the band, grows darker and more intense as the song unfolds — a visual reflection of the lyrics and the emotional journey within. According to the band, “Ruins” was one of their most demanding songs to complete, but the final result captures their artistic vision in full.

Veritas Lit are now preparing for their next chapter, with upcoming releases including “The Universe at Our Feet”, followed by “Until My Dying Breath” and “Through the Mist” in November. Their forthcoming album, due out in 2026, will include two exclusive unreleased tracks and promises to elevate their reputation as one of the UK’s most cinematic and emotionally charged alternative rock acts.

Brand new on the A-List Playlist is ‘Every Second’, the melodic and emotionally-charged country-tinged rock single by John Consalvo. Lifted from his conceptual album Voyage on Soulmate Seas, this track is a masterclass in heartfelt songwriting, catchy hooks, and warm, polished production. With its soaring vocals and powerful storytelling, ‘Every Second’ is set to spin every few hours on the station, and will also feature as a special ROCK POWERPLAY at 5:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Voyage on Soulmate Seas marks a bold and deeply thoughtful project from lifelong songwriter John Consalvo. A conceptual collection of thirteen original tracks, the album tells a story through cinematic soundscapes and intimate lyrical reflections. Opening with a spoken-word piece titled Passing The Torch, the journey unfolds with acoustic finesse, electric energy, and Consalvo’s distinct vocal presence.

Early highlights include Where Do I Find Her – a euphoric rock track with emotional weight and poetic depth – and the more playful, acoustic-led Jilly Bean, which brings a lighter touch to the album’s arc. From there, listeners are pulled into the emotional power of Alone, a Bon Jovi-esque anthem that contrasts bright, uplifting melodies with themes of heartbreak and release.

The southern rock spirit comes alive in Get My Million, a gritty and infectious anthem that critiques the illusion of wealth as a path to love. It’s followed by the introspective and poignant Every Second, which showcases Consalvo’s ability to blend folk-rock intimacy with a universal emotional reach. The track’s acoustic warmth and raw vocal delivery make it a standout moment on the album – and now, on air.

Further down the line, tracks like IMY evolve into Goo Goo Dolls-style pop-rock anthems, while Sometimes brings a heartfelt vulnerability that’s both cutting and comforting. Instrumental interlude The Miss adds cinematic flair, leading into the gentle storytelling of Show Me How To Live.

The album closes with strength and variety – from the hopeful And There She Was, to the blues-soaked harmonies of Shake My Soul, and finally, the energetic Now We’re Off, which brings a pop-punk finish to this expansive and engaging journey.

With Voyage on Soulmate Seas, John Consalvo proves himself a master of narrative-driven rock, weaving poetic depth with melodic magnetism. ‘Every Second’ is just one gem from this rich collection, and its addition to the A-List Playlist guarantees that more listeners will discover the beauty and strength of Consalvo’s work in the weeks ahead.

We’re proud to announce that the breathtaking new single “Mirrors” by Amrit Ghatore has officially landed on our A-List Playlist. This powerful, cinematic, and emotionally rich track will be playing every couple of hours, with a special POWERPLAY spotlight at 12 PM Pacific USA time running throughout the next month.

A Return Marked by Reflection

After years of creative silence, British singer-songwriter and visionary Amrit Ghatore resurfaces with “Mirrors”—a soul-stirring debut that doesn’t just speak; it listens. Stripping back the noise, the track offers a raw and poetic meditation on identity, self-realization, and the truths we often avoid.

But “Mirrors” isn’t just a return—
It’s a reckoning.
A transformation.
A letting go.

Born in Stillness, Forged in Truth

Following a deliberate step away from the spotlight, Amrit didn’t disappear—he went inward. He listened deeply: to the world, to its silence, and to the questions that echo in solitude.

“Mirrors” emerged not from heartbreak, but from a deeper awakening—a moment of clarity in the blur of modern life. It’s a cinematic expression of spiritual confrontation, where vulnerability becomes a weapon and silence speaks volumes.

The Sound of Searching

Layered with delicate piano, moody guitar textures, and Amrit’s hauntingly intimate vocals, “Mirrors” plays like a quiet revelation.
It’s the sound of someone watching their reflection until it moves—without them.

The result is understated yet immense. Every note feels intentional. Every lyric leaves space to breathe.

At surface level, it’s a song about love and loss. But listen closely, and you’ll discover a journey inward—a mirror held up to the soul.

A New Era Begins

Known for his previous BBC-supported experimental releases, Amrit Ghatore steps into 2025 with a bold, redefined artistic vision—deeply rooted in introspection, spirituality, and unfiltered emotion.

This is more than just a single.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter.

“Mirrors” releases globally on April 19, 2025, and is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.
