Endeavour

Endeavour has received a lot of praise from international media with the release of their debut album For The Time Being, including recognition from outlets such as Metal Hammer UK, Wall of Sound Australia, Louder Sound, Lambgoat, and Zware Metalen. Their single "Colourblind" was even included in Metal Hammer and Louder Sound's "50 Best Metal Songs of 2023" list, alongside giants like Ghost, Within Temptation, Metallica, and Sleep Token. "For The Time Being has all the ingredients you want from a metalcore album, with enough variety between and within songs to keep listeners engaged." – Wall of Sound Australia "Dutch metalcore newcomers Endeavour are tapping into the genre’s more melodic territories with their single ‘Colourblind’ from debut album For The Time Being. Which isn’t to say ‘Colourblind’ doesn’t have fangs; vocalist Gijs Smeets switches between rabid snarls and almost Linkin Park-like passages to tap into the cathartic emotional core at the heart of modern metal." – Metal Hammer UK "With For The Time Being, Endeavour has delivered a rock-solid album with nine fantastic tracks. The album never gets boring and strikes the perfect balance between melodic riffs and powerful drums. While albums sometimes falter with the softer tracks, Endeavour manages to keep even the 'quieter' songs like 'Blur' and 'Colourblind' interesting." – Zware Metalen Of course, the band hasn't been idle in the meantime. They've been working hard for the past year to further develop their sound. Their love for blending eclectic elements with the dynamic potential of modern metal is clearly evident in their new work. Together with Nathan Smart and renowned audio engineer George Lever (known for his work with Sleep Token, Monuments, Loathe, Holding Absence, and more), they've been working to bring their musical vision for their second album The Secrets We Keep to life. The key word that drives this work is 'atmosphere', something Nathan Smart and George Lever understand like no one else. An extensive harmonic vocabulary, interesting genre-defying approaches, and the high dynamic range of modern metal make this upcoming album a varied listening experience.
