Pick Up Goliath is a British musician who is known for creating music that stands apart because of its modern and retro fusion. Creating ambitious, concept-driven metal music that takes cinematic orchestration to new heights, Pick Up Goliath’s music is all about experimentation that’s rooted in tradition. Creating conceptual works through immersive songwriting that explores psychological, philosophical, and emotional truths, his focus is not just on sounds, but also on songwriting that leaves a strong impression. Bringing in the elements of his classical training to his songs as well, Pick Up Goliath creates music that’s one of a kind.
Recently, Pick Up Goliath released a song called ‘Father Asphyxia’ – a track that’s anything but your conventional metalcore. Blending cinematic textures with crushing riffs, the song takes on a narrative that explores paternal trauma and restrained emotions in a way that sounds quite refreshing. A part of the Salt and Static EP that explores men’s mental health like never before, the song sounds like a prequel that sets things into perspective.

What’s so good about the track is the balance between the metal chaos and peaceful restraint established through intelligent production details. The stunning guitars, when paired with orchestral ambience, create a unique sense of calm and at the same time provide that metal oomph that makes the song a real metal gem. The crushing breakdowns and intentional pauses that highlight the lows strike a fine balance between the noise and the calm. This one’s a unique metal number that shouldn’t be missed!
