Tenue. - GRIS (Deluxe) [YELLOW]

GRAY (Deluxe) sees Held. propelling his emotionally charged sound to new heights, blending post-hardcore urgency, melodic ambition and deeply personal songwriting into an album that refuses to remain static.

This limited deluxe edition takes the experience even further. Limited to just 100 copies, it is pressed on 140g yellow vinyl with an O-Card insert, an autographed band insert, and an exclusive track-by-track audio commentary from singer and guitarist Douglas Robinson. For fans, it offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the songs while adding an extra layer of collectible value to an already captivating release.

The album opens with the explosive Defending The Earth before charging into New You Anthem, featuring Frank Iero, an exceptional collaboration that balances catharsis and melody with remarkable ease. Constant Tension and Knifepoint, featuring High Vis' Graham Sayle, showcase the band's ability to fuse razor-sharp intensity with memorable hooks, while Waves Of Fire and title track Gray explore themes of self-discovery, perseverance and transformation.

Throughout the album, Held. thrives on contrast. Songs like Through The Cracks and Broken Spacesuit (Decay And Sand) reveal a more atmospheric and introspective side, while I And I Against You All and Emptiness: A Side Effect deliver some of the album's most powerful emotional peaks. The result is dynamic listening that lends itself to both reflection and liberation.

For collectors and fans of avant-garde alternative music, this deluxe yellow vinyl edition is an exceptional artifact. Thoughtful, passionate and fiercely authentic, GRAY captures a band on the rise without losing its bite.
