Two of Australia’s most compelling forces in progressive metal have collided in electrifying fashion. Citadel, known for their intricate and heavy instrumentation, have teamed up with Monique Pym — the dynamic frontwoman of Reliqa — to release “Incomplete,” a powerful new single that showcases the best of both acts.
The track sees Pym’s soaring vocals seamlessly woven into Citadel’s atmospheric yet crushing soundscape. As “Incomplete” builds, so too does its emotional intensity. Pym’s haunting melodies and powerful vocal delivery add a fresh dimension to Citadel’s already commanding presence, culminating in a chorus that erupts into a cathartic, spine-tingling crescendo.
Both lyrically and sonically, “Incomplete” feels like a true collaboration, spotlighting Citadel’s raw power and precision alongside Pym’s unmatched vocal prowess. The result is a track that not only appeals to longtime fans of both bands but also carves out a distinctive space in the progressive alt-metal genre.
This release marks a pivotal moment in Citadel’s journey as they continue building toward the conclusion of their latest EP, LIMBO. With a fierce finale on the horizon — one teased as their most aggressive and politically charged anthem yet — Citadel is proving they’re more than just a band to watch: they’re a force demanding to be heard.
Stay tuned as 2025 unfolds; if “Incomplete” is any indication, Citadel is far from finished.
