House of Protection was formed by two renowned musicians, Stephen Harrison (formerly of The Chariot) and Aric Improta (from Fever 333 and Night Verses). With both carrying the weight of their rock reputations, the expectations from listeners are naturally high. However, their debut EP, Galore, delivers the headbanging rock experience that fans crave. With an unpredictable style that bravely experiments with the boundaries of various genres, this EP is packed with explosive energy.

Another key element that propelled them to this point is Jordan Fish, a former core member of Bring Me The Horizon, who has crafted all six tracks into an exploration of hardcore, punk, electronica, and more, creating chaos and excitement at the same time. It’s as if the EP turns our ears into a battlefield of sonic madness.

The most intriguing aspect of Galore is how it manages to stay cohesive despite the diverse sounds and styles. No matter how much genre-blending it involves, each song still feels like it exists in the same universe. This cohesion is a result of the strong chemistry between Harrison and Improta, who bring their experience and skills together. Improta’s drumming unleashes both power and precision, while Harrison’s fiery guitar provides a solid backbone, even in the EP’s most experimental tracks.

From the opening track, Pulling Teeth, Galore immediately makes a strong impression. This song blends rap, pop-punk, and heavy basslines into a sonic explosion. The influence of Fish is clear, with intense arrangements reminiscent of Bring Me The Horizon, while still maintaining a unique House of Protection identity. The song’s drop and catchy hooks keep us hooked throughout the entire album.

Another standout track is It’s Supposed to Hurt, showcasing the band’s ability to fuse raw energy with melody. The alternating tempo between hardcore vocals and electronic beats makes this track a massive hit. It reflects the band’s ambition to push boundaries and immerse the listener in the intensity of their emotions, especially with the aggressive and singable hooks that might just make this the band’s “anthem.”

While the EP thrives with its heavy and aggressive sound, Being One demonstrates the band’s ambition by introducing more electronic elements, with pounding drums contrasted against intricate percussion and beautiful synths. The song even carries a shoegaze-like dreamy atmosphere. Fuse also stands out by blending electronica with delicate vocals, maintaining the EP’s diversity.

The EP closes with Better Off, which dials back the aggression. Though it’s less intense than the previous tracks, its haunting and glitchy sounds manage to convey heavy emotions perfectly. This track may not be as instantly catchy as the others, but it leaves a lasting impression on listeners.

If Galore proves anything, it’s that House of Protection isn’t afraid to take risks, pushing themselves towards raw hardcore or shimmering electronica, all while maintaining their unique musical identity. It’s a bold debut that defies trends and doesn’t stick to any particular genre, instead drawing influences from across the musical spectrum and smashing them together with exhilarating results.

The overall energy and creativity of Galore are undeniably outstanding. For fans of nu-metal, post-hardcore, or experimental music that blurs genre lines, this EP is a must-listen. And we can’t wait to see what House of Protection has in store for us next.
