Musical Feel
Song / Album Composition
“Blood In The Water,” kicks off proceedings. It is thunderous and ominous. A song that really grabs the listener by the scruff of the neck and forces them to pay attention. As it twists and turns the vocals come roaring out, the content eviscerates complacency and turns the screws ever so slightly.
“Brace For Impact,” goes all in on the heaviness, building up steam and turning things into a storm. A song that truly leverages its immense riffage powers, to let the hordes of madness build.
“Walls,” takes things up another notch, twisting through the platitudes to hit the right notes, slathering through and slithering into chaotic dispositions of time.
“Wicked Hour,” turns on a knife’s edge. A battering ram of placeness and compactfulness, it runs through the turnabout and hints at the chaos of the world.
“Dragon,” is a ripper of a song, turning the dials up by several notches, roaring through the turnstiles and adding a sense of foreboding and chaotic principles of time and space.
“Undone,” swaggers through the platform of time, running into chaos and interwoven dispossession.
“7 Seconds,” gallops through the time warp for a neverending sense of chaotic goodness and fulfilment. A powerful statement of intent.
The album is out on 4th June via AFM Records.
