Today on Cupchairs Reacts, 'Fortitude' by Horizons Demise

Today on Cupchairs Reacts, I’m checking out Fortitude by Horizons Demise—a UK-based metalcore band bringing tight production, high-energy riffs, and seriously impressive vocals to the table. This track is part of their debut EP, The Last Light, a concept record exploring humanity’s end, death, and rebirth—but through a lens of resilience and strength.

Right from the start, Fortitude hits hard—with relentless drumming, powerful screams, and guitar work that keeps everything moving at full throttle. The production is super clean, every instrument has its space, and the vocals are next level—shifting effortlessly between crisp highs, deep growls, and soaring cleans. It’s giving serious late-2000s metalcore vibes—think Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Trivium—but with a modern touch.

Lyrically, it’s all about fighting through adversity and pushing forward no matter what. It doesn’t try to reinvent the genre, but it doesn’t need to—Horizons Demise clearly knows exactly what they’re doing, and they do it exceptionally well.

If you love high-energy, polished metalcore with precision, passion, and power, this one’s worth cranking up.
