If you thought Czechia was only good for gothic architecture and affordable beer, SEVERALS are here to prove you wrong with a healthy dose of aggressive silence and sonic impact. This band operates on three core principles: tension, silence, and heavy-hitting delivery. Basically, it is the musical equivalent of a psychological thriller, but with better production value.
They are not out here chasing TikTok trends or looking for instant dopamine hits. Instead, they have built a meticulously crafted world where sound, visuals, and intent are so intertwined you cannot separate them—not even with a crowbar. Their music is physical, dark, and deliberate. This is not the “lo-fi beats to study to” background noise; it is a full-on entry point into a rabbit hole where it is perpetually midnight.
ABOUT THE SINGLE «WHEN THE SUN IS DARK»
This is not just a song you’ll skip halfway through on a playlist. It marks “Chapter Two” of the band’s current cycle. Apparently, Chapter One went well enough that they decided to officially turn out the lights.
- The Sound: It is heavier. Your neighbors are going to love it.
- The Vibe: The atmosphere is tighter than a pair of skinny jeans from 2009.
- The Dynamics: Controlled, mature, and far more intentional than your last three life choices.
The track explores themes of light and darkness, control and collapse, and identity—using them as actual tools rather than just edgy window dressing.
DIY OR DIE: THE VISUALS
The accompanying music video was created entirely by the band itself. Either they are extreme control freaks, or the entire marketing budget was spent on guitar pedals and black coffee. The video functions as a literal extension of the track, not just a supplement. The symbolism and pacing are hard-wired into the music, proving that SEVERALS actually think about their work as a complete artistic statement rather than just “content.”
A MESSAGE TO THE GATEKEEPERS
«When The Sun Is Dark» stands as the band’s most ambitious and cohesive release yet. It is a giant neon sign to media outlets, agents, and promoters that SEVERALS are not just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks—they are moving forward with surgical precision.
Follow the Codex. (Whatever that entails).

Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
