IC3PEAK's new album, 'Coming Home,' marks a significant departure from their previous work, which was characterized by intense, provocative themes. Following the emotional upheaval caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, vocalist Nastya Kreslina shifted the band's sound from heavy electro and metal to a more melodic indie rock style. This change symbolizes both a personal transformation and a response to the current political climate, as Kreslina now seeks to express herself quietly to stand out in a world filled with chaos and noise.
Kreslina said that there was a simple explanation for the shift: Everything in our lives has changed. Three years ago, Kreslina left Moscow just days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Kreslina said she used to scream so that Russian listeners would notice her. Now, she said, a quiet voice felt like the only way to get noticed among all the screaming.
