📧 Imagine waking up one Tuesday morning to receive an email saying:
“Hey! We played your track, @faradaysg - ‘Most of the Time, I Think of The Afterlife’ on @bbcradio1 - Introducing Rock with @alyxholcombe ”
✨ S T U N N I N G ✨
🤯 Never in my wildest dream did I think this was possible but it happened TWICE - the largest broadcast to date. ‘Masses’ was played last week & I still can’t wrap my head around it.
From a whole @faradaysg feature on @walao.radio in New Zealand to getting played on national radio in Singapore to MEANT2B bringing the house down @themidweekmosh , it has been such a privilege working with music that I love.
I battle with imposter syndrome all the time but I always think about the women that have inspired me on this journey. Alyx has always championed underground bands even before her BBC Radio 1 radio show. & I remember watching Nelly @pluggingbiatch interview on @uprawrpodcast and how she had to pitched @architects ‘Gravedigger’
This month has took me out in many ways but it has also reminded me of the why 🫶🏼
⚡ FARADAY (SINGAPORE)— GUARANTEED NOMINEES • VIMA MUSIC AWARDS 2026
The sonic storm rising from Singapore has officially been acknowledged.
Alternative metal/post-hardcore powerhouse Faraday have been confirmed as Guaranteed Nominees at the VIMA Music Awards 2026 in the categories:
🏆 Best Band
🎸 Best Rock Song
🎤 Best Vocalist
🤝 Best Collaboration
Recognized for the tracks:
Grief’s Embrace, Morpheus, Wheel of Time (feat Fruzz, Vikkash) & Most of The Time, I Think of The Afterlife, Faraday continue to prove why they stand among Southeast Asia’s most compelling heavy acts.
Formed over a decade ago, the five-piece outfit has forged a signature sound that merges crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and atmospheric electronics — a cinematic sonic identity that feels both nostalgically anthemic and strikingly futuristic.
Their 2026 EP DELIRIUM marks a defining milestone: the first chapter of an ambitious conceptual trilogy inspired by The Sandman, culminating in a full-length album titled Endless. Centered on the chaotic psyche of the character Delirium, the record dives into fractured identity, cosmic melancholy, & emotional turbulence through 4 immersive tracks.
International media have praised the band’s immense sonic scale, declaring their sound goes toe-to-toe in quality with bands one hundred times their size.

What if @faradaysg ’s DELIRIUM scored Neil Gaiman’s @thesandmanofficial ? Stepped into the dreamscape one track at a time with the latest record.
This is Morpheus.
