From the northern arctic region, Alaska's gothic rock duo Cliff And Ivy have dropped two lyric videos from their recently released Angels Eyes: Singles EP. The two tracks will also appear on their forthcoming full-length, Angels Eyes, due in early 2026.
"Lockdown" is a song built on relentless heavy guitar, battering beats of destruction, fractured synth architecture, and vocals that bleed between warning, confession, and command. It transmits the sound of a civilisation under siege.
The song confronts the suffocating grip of psychological confinement and the yearning for creative liberation. Written to address global isolation and personal reckoning, the song channels emotion through Cliff's distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and Ivy's commanding vocals. "Lockdown" is a sonic ritual of resistance, an anthem for anyone confronting barriers and clawing their way towards self-sovereignty and light. Freedom begins within.
"The Healer" is a beautiful, heavy song which honours the life and legacy of a beloved friend, fan and mentor. "The Healer" tells the story of an elder nurse who dedicated decades of his life to caring for children and families, travelling to Alaska's most remote and unforgiving landscapes. With lyrics steeped in imagery of raw nature, the song evokes the sacredness of his work and the weight of his passing. Gothic metal guitar swells, ethereal melodic piano, and mournful vocals conjure a soundscape that is both intimate and cinematic. "The Healer" is not just a song. It's a ritual of remembrance, honouring those who walk the lonely path of compassion. Link
