Interview: No More Can Be Done – The Dissonant World of P+A+G+E+S

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Dissonant, depressive, unflinchingly honest, nihilistic, and incredibly cathartic, this is a summation of P+A+G+E+S (FKA ‘Morning Pages’ from 2014 – 2019) debut album, ‘No More Can Be Done’. The South African doom, atmospheric noise, drone and sludge post-metal trio released it on October 25th, 2025.

 

Nihilism at its most uncompromising, and nihilism that comes with a highly experimental touch. The trio that is P+A+G+E+S are a damn near indescribable bunch and defy all genre logic across five (four if you pick up the vinyl version) expressive, intense, and elaborate efforts. It’s not that it’s heavy, after all, heavy albums aren’t exactly in short supply, it’s that it embraces misery while exploring the reasons behind it. The world is not in a good place, and day by day, we seem to be careening towards even darker times. Yes, it’s a nihilistic way to think, but it is reality, and that is what P+A+G+E+S explore.

Read the full review of the incredible album, here.

We spoke P+A+G+E+S about ‘No More Can Be Done’, digging into the themes behind it, how it’s more hopeful than first expected, the evolution of the band and how patience has paid off, life in Cape Town, the future, and so much more.
