Modern Day Icarus

🪽 Wings take me to paradise 🪽

Modern Day Icarus is a powerful journey through alternative metal, ambient textures, and progressive influences. Rooted in Greek mythology, the name "Icarus" draws from the tale of a young visionary who soared toward the heavens with wings made by his father Daedalus, only to fly too close to the sun and fall. This myth mirrors the artist’s own experiences—reaching a pinnacle believed to be destiny, only to have life’s challenges cause it all to unravel, leaving a need to rebuild and rediscover purpose.
Since launching with "Crestfallen" in 2023, Modern Day Icarus has released an impressive 11 singles in just 18 months, each marked by themes of loss, heartbreak, and depression. The music serves as a raw, cathartic outlet, capturing the depths of these emotions while creating a space for release and healing. With a sound that combines intense riffs, haunting vocals, and immersive atmospheres, Modern Day Icarus weaves a sonic landscape that resonates with listeners, inviting them into a paradise shaped by both beauty and struggle.
Defined by a dedication to a signature sound that pushes creative boundaries, Modern Day Icarus embodies the courage—and beauty—of daring to fly high. Each release invites listeners to join this journey, exploring the paradise that exists at the edge of resilience and ambition.
