NEWS: Continents smile through the pain!

Welsh Metalcore band Continents have shown no signs of slowing down after returning from hiatus in 2022 and have unleashed a new single to finish 2025 in dark style. Titled “Smile” the track finds the four piece digging deep into the psychological scars left by manipulation, bullying, and gaslighting, exploring how intrusive thoughts can linger long after the abuse ends… shaping identity, distorting perception and turning the mind into a maze that’s difficult to escape.

Vocalist Phil Cross comments: ““Smile” is about the kind of manipulation and bullying that buries itself in your mind. We wanted the song to pull listeners into that mental chaos, the intrusive thoughts, the self-doubt, and the long-term effects that continue to twist your reality long after the experiences have ended. It’s uncomfortable on purpose, because that’s exactly what surviving it feels like. The atmosphere draws heavily from Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and a lot of the eerie sounds were created organically in our guitarist Gareth’s kitchen, out and about by using a mobile mic and whatever we could get our hands on at that time”
