Cassius Marino from Roma, Italia –
EPEX torna sul palcoscenico musicale con “韶華 Vol. 1: Gioventù” e questo primo capitolo sembra evocare le vivide emozioni tipiche dell’età di transizione da adolescenti a adulti, tutto cucito su melodie ipnotizzanti che stridono quasi in contrasto tra loro. Con testi audaci ci invitano ad affrontare paure e sogni infranti nel bel mezzo della confusione emotiva della giovinezza, proprio come quando nella soleggiata Roma assaporiamo il gelato artigianale in una giornata torrida estiva; dolce ma effimero. I brani spiccano per profondità narrativa nei riff armonici – insomma un viaggio non solo uditivo, ma fortemente sensoriale ed esperienziale.

Dude, just listened to EPEX’s new album ‘韶華’ and wow! They really nailed the vibes of being young and lost at times but also super fun. Each track kinda feels like that feeling you get on a summer day with friends — exciting yet bittersweet. It’s wild seeing how much they’ve matured since their debut; they’ve definitely grown into these real artists now instead of kids throwing out cute pop tracks, ya know? Highly recommend vibing with this if you’re navigating adulthood or just remembering your youthful days.
Ilse Van Den Heede –
I really enjoyed the balance of softer harmonies with the sick guitars in ‘KILLSHOT’. ‘Youth2Youth’ is a 10/10 for me, the vocal layering in the chorus is a highlight and the lyrics are beautiful and inspiring. Overall, ‘Sohwa (韶華) Chapter 1: Youth’ by EPEX is a very solid album.

EPEXの新アルバム『韶華 Vol.1: Youth』がついに登場しました。しかし、最初は正直言って懐疑的でした。彼らの成長を称えるものとして期待されているにもかかわらず、その成果を果たして本当に証明できるのでしょうか?このアルバムでは、大人になった彼ら自身の視点で語られる感情豊かな楽曲が特徴です。青春そのものを呼び起こし、一歩踏み出す勇気や過去との葛藤など、多くの思考と心情が込められています。そして最後には、何とも言えない高揚感に包まれてしまう自分がいました。この音楽は単なるポップではなく、生き様や内面的な探索まで含んだ真実味があります。一度聴いた後、もう一度始めから聴き返さざるを得ない魅力的な作品となっています。
