SINGLE REVIEW: i - gun

Trudging and yearning, 'gun' is a compelling and melancholic listen that resonates with its haunting melodies. The song delves into the complex issue of gun ownership in America and around the world, shedding light on the ease of obtaining weapons, both legally and illegally, and the invitation it presents to wield power without restraint. It explores the dark allure of firearms, the idea that they become attractive through the terror they can inflict on those who cross their path, effectively playing God with people's lives.

This track boasts a grinding, impulsive sound, characterized by frantic, hammering drums that provide a sense of urgency, alongside droning, stomach-churning guitars. The vocals channel the intensity of emotion, adding a gritty authenticity to the sound.

'gun' is both lyrical and musically unnerving, providing a poignant account of how the unhinged can easily obtain power and exert their will, regaining terror over those they encounter.

The music video further reinforces the terror, showing the harm guns can do, from shop hold-ups to people who are seemingly using these deadly weapons responsibly in a more hobby-like setting. It certainly provides food for thought, making your mind shift into thoughts as to why guns are still so prevalent within society.
