SINGLE REVIEW: Jonathan Panetta -Inner Demons
Canada's Jonathan Panetta serves up an epic, mental health-inspired banger in the form of his latest single 'Inner Demons'.
A tune about the daily battle to cope and survive. The yearning to be free of your own mind. How sometimes you can't silence your thoughts and how the demons gradually consume every moment, killing dreams and destroying life. The constant feelings of failure and distorted reality.
The hard-hitting lyric conveys the idea that when living with a mental illness. It's so easy to become to the disease losing sight of everything else and forgetting who you are outside of the confines of your mind.
Heavy rock with progressive tendencies 'Inner Demons' is an anthemic tune with darkened thoughtful vibes. Jonathan's vocals swoop and soar with a beautiful classic rock tone pouring with heartfelt emotion battling against pain and confusion. The addition of Sarah Wayne’s (Aurin) pretty backing vox works beautifully to contrast the track's rawness.
Droning riffs, a dark bassline, and pounding drums give 'Inner Demons' an atmospheric, engulfing feeling. The chorus kicks with bold, arena-filling qualities.
Melodic, melancholic, and addictive 'Inner Demons' is a magnificent sound dealing with a challenging subject in a grand, graceful, empathic way.
