SINGLE REVIEW: Erode The Dream - Becoming Ghosts
Erode The Dream's latest single 'Becoming Ghosts' is a heavy-hitting blast of grunge-infused chaos, fueled by a potent mix of fuzzy, reverby guitars and pounding, pulsating drums. The track comes at you full throttle from the start, with its gritty sound and adrenaline-pumping energy. The drumming is relentless, propelling the song forward while the guitars slice through the noise with a raw intensity that feels both chaotic and thrilling.
The band's ability to masterfully play with tempo shifts adds a layer of tension, especially during the lulls when the track dives into a more deliberate, sludgy doom. These moments intensify the sense of unease, with the track’s slow, heavy undertones creating a stark contrast before it kicks back into full throttle. The song shifts between frantic impulsiveness and driven power, never losing its sense of determination.
There's a richness to the track's sound—a multifaceted mix of grunge grit, classic rock grandeur, the expansive nature of prog, and the thick, dirty textures of doom. The electrifying guitar solo is the perfect punch in the track's climax, cutting through the heaviness and showing off the band's technical chops. 'Becoming Ghosts' is a powerful, intense, and electrifying ride that pulls you in with every beat and leaves you craving more.
