ERUPTION is a burst of recognizable emotions that emerge on the path of self-reflection.
Within this work, YAV embarks on a journey of discovery where he embraces his individuality and draws strength from candid, vocal expression.
On this journey, he traverses the rough path of heartbreak, which later becomes the catalyst for a deeper conversation with the divine and with himself.
In addition to questioning the ego, ERUPTION also emphasizes the immeasurable value of vulnerability as an instrument for growth. This adventure immerses you in an emotional rollercoaster.
ERUPTION is a reflection on the complexity of life, with the realization that imperfection holds the ultimate true beauty.
It is an invitation to lose yourself in a musical story regardless of your life's path.

WHY narrates the story of a relationship on the brink of a break .
Each attempt to seek resolution is met with resistance, plunging the conversation into a toxic dynamic and a downward spiral.
YAV experiences an intense range of emotions, culminating into a fiery "rant" directed towards the other.
“I've endeavored to mirror the narrator's frustration by placing my love for the electric guitar at the forefront of this track.“
WHY serves on one hand as an homage and a nostalgic nod to my emo teenage years, where songs like "Bring Me to Life" (Evanescence) and "Monsoon" (Tokyo Hotel) fueled my passion for rock.
On the other hand it reflects my fascination with MATRIX.
