Just when we thought we’d recovered from the haunting beauty of “We Won’t Forget”, John Giles returns, louder, bolder, and burning brighter than ever, with his new single “Burn It Down”, taken from the upcoming album “Tragic Symphony”. This track isn’t just rock; it’s an emotional wildfire. “We crash, we burn beneath the skies; this craving glows, it never dies”, he sings, as the guitars roar and the drums thunder like distant explosions. The result? A blazing anthem that feels as cinematic as it is cathartic. Speaking of cinema, the video is an absolute must-watch: a twisted journey into a forest where faceless figures in black stalk men, cloaked in mystery and menace. It’s eerie, immersive, and impossible to look away. Giles doesn’t just release music, he crafts experiences. And guess what? Slash Music is here to bring it to your ears first.

From behind the lens to center stage
Hailing from Bournemouth and now based in Southampton, John Giles isn’t new to storytelling, just to this spotlight. Known for his years directing music videos for others, he finally decided to step out of the shadows and pair his visuals with his own sound. What started as a quiet passion project quickly grew into something far more personal and powerful. “This isn’t just about music; it’s about telling stories in a new way,” he says.
With past tracks like “Iridescent”, “My December”, and “Castle of Glass”, Giles has been slowly building a musical world that feels as rich and intense as his visual work. Now, with “Burn It Down” lighting the fuse, the countdown to “Tragic Symphony” begins. Keep your eyes on John Giles, the fire’s only just begun.
