SINGLE REVIEW: Kelly Murphy Music - Is That All?
Seattle-based musician Kelly Murphy draws on years of experience in touring and writing with bands like Kiss the Gunner’s Daughter and Temperedcast. Now focusing on his solo work, he collaborates with various global artists to create heavy, melodic music that showcases his evolving sound.
In ‘Is That All?’, featuring Brazilian vocalist Josh Paulino, Murphy delivers a thunderous alt-metal anthem infused with industrial elements. The electrifying track features a killer drumbeat and high-impact vocals that merge nu-metal with screamo and melodic metal. An igniting riff sets the stage for passionate and determined lyrics, while the technically complex instrumentation erupts with ferocity.
The song masterfully blends snarling intensity with stunning melodic sensibilities, creating a high-octane experience. A lull in tempo injects a more sinister ambiance, enhancing the track's dynamic range and emotional depth. ‘Is That All?’ is a testament to Murphy's talent for fusing heavy sounds with melodic richness.
