Rex, known under the moniker death_on_impact and featured on IDIOTEQ earlier this year, has been building his own world within the emotive post-hardcore space since age 11. Self-taught in instrumentation and production, his music has long served as a coping mechanism and mode of expression. With Oh Father, Why Here?, his newest and most intricate release to date, he finally puts into words what he’s been circling for years. “This record covers so much but it truly boils down to one thing: anger with god and christianity,” Rex explains. “Shining light on things like: SA, suicide, drug abuse, people abusing their power while still deeming themselves christian, mental illness, politics, and how all of it comes back to asking god ‘why?’” Influences include Circa Survive, As Cities Burn, This Armistice, Underoath, Hail The Sun, The Hotelier, (La Dispute, Lower Definition, Vaux,) and others that hover between post-hardcore, ambient rock, and lyrical breakdown. Rex also cites Soundgarden, Pantera, and Johann Sebastian Bach among his inspirations, nodding to the album’s textured, sometimes chaotic layering. - IDIOTEQ (2025) so wholesome Buisness Email: d3ath.on.impact@gmail.com
