HOSHENKO’s ‘Eternal Machina’: A Raw, Sonic Journey Through Emotion and Experience

Emerging from the heart of Eastern Europe, HOSHENKO is a Ukrainian-born artist now living in Lithuania, rebuilding a life amid the turbulent backdrop of a changing world. With an unrelenting passion for music that tells stories, the producer and composer channels personal upheaval into a powerful new EP, Eternal Machina - a genre-fusing collection that weaves the intensity of metal with the immersive textures of electronic sound design.

Driven by a love for creating soundtracks for games and visual media, HOSHENKO brings cinematic depth to every composition. Yet Eternal Machina is not just music - it’s a reflection of the artist’s own journey, shaped by displacement, identity, and the pursuit of meaning. “This album is a combination of my emotions and experiences over the years,” the artist explains. “Each track tells a story and feelings that affect many people - from rage to sadness, and from melancholy to confusion in the choices along the way in life.”

The EP unfolds like a sonic diary:

Lost Paths sets the tone with haunting melodies and poignant tension, representing those moments where life’s decisions lead us to wonder, "What if I had done differently?" It’s a track laced with introspection and the quiet ache of regret.

Monster Crawler shifts gears into high-octane territory. Gritty and pulse-pounding, it evokes the sensation of being chased - by circumstances, by fears, perhaps even by one's own past. As the energy escalates, the track closes on a reflective note: "Is this a cycle that needs to be broken?" It’s a question that lingers long after the last note fades.

Siren brings fury and force, a cathartic eruption layered with lyrics that strike a chord with those who’ve endured the inescapable. It speaks to life’s cruellest twists - events that happen beyond our control, yet never quite leave us.

Finally, Critical Trauma plunges the listener into a raw industrial soundscape. With low-end guitars grinding against walls of noise, the track captures a sense of release. But it’s not comfort - rather, a fierce kind of liberation that offers no easy answers.

Through Eternal Machina, HOSHENKO doesn’t just blend genres - he blurs the line between personal narrative and universal emotion. The result is an EP that’s as heavy with sound as it is with meaning - perfect for anyone seeking depth in their music and resonance in their rage.

Whether soundtracking virtual worlds or lighting a fire in the hearts of his listeners, HOSHENKO is an artist worth watching - one who turns chaos into creation, and sound into soul.
