Ahead of his EP, Teraton, a one-man band is releasing a second single in support of it. This time, the offering is called The Offering. A sludgy, dramatic piece of alternative rock that’s a massive sounding, multi-layered and multi-phased. 

Based in Los Angeles, Teraton is a one-man band composed of Phillip Brooks that started in 2022. Brooks Sings, programs the drums, plays the synths and the guitars on his music, and The Offering is a good enough introduction to the man’s songwriting skills. What stands out first in the throbbing synth sounds, accentuated by an intricate breakbeat-inspired drum line. Teraton’s performance then is peppered on top. Looming and laden with danger. The sludgy instrumental breaks are hefty and the production on them is rewarding, creating a lush sound of electronic rock. 

The song’s healthy runtime of 5 minutes and 50 seconds sees Teraton explore the song to its fullest. With multiple breaks, sections, and ideas, all carried within the frame of the songwriting. The Offering is an entertaining piece of rock that’s massive and dramatic.
