Bristol-based British-Iranian artist Darius Zaltash has been building quietly, but purposefully. His music sits at a crossroads of Linkin Park-sized drama and The 1975’s glossy vulnerability, and new track ‘Glorious’ leans into that tension with confidence.

This is a track that screams to be experienced in a room full of people. The electronic textures are thick and cinematic, the chorus big enough to rattle walls, but there’s an emotional honesty running underneath that stops it from tipping into pure spectacle. Zaltash writes from difficult places, and that rawness comes through even when the production is polished to a shine.

His influences are a deliberate mix of rock and dance music, blended in places you wouldn’t necessarily expect, and it’s that restless experimentation this makes ‘Glorious’ not just interesting but also impressive.
