Cape Town’s doom, atmospheric noise, drone, and sludge post-metal trio P+A+G+E+S emerge from the shadows with the release of their debut single and video Shine On, the first glimpse into their highly anticipated debut album No More Can Be Done (out October 25), recorded with producer Simon Ratcliffe at Sound and Motion Studios in February 2025.
Carved from the same crushing bedrock as the album, Shine On strikes with a different force—driving and deliberate while retaining the band’s signature weight. “We wanted to contrast the album with something a bit more driving, while adhering to the overall weight of the rest of the tracks and to be strong against vile oppression,” explains the band.
Lyrically, the single distils a mantra of resilience: “When the clouds come to cover, let the light shine through. The message is simple but powerful,” they add. “It’s about strength in the face of adversity and oppression.”
