SINGLE REVIEW: Once Upon the End - Dying Concrete

The gritty and impulsive 'Dying Concrete' is a fierce brawl of technically detailed musicianship that captivates with electrifying, overdriven sweeping riffs featuring rapid volume fluctuations, seamlessly blending frantic tones into more muted ethereal ones. The drums maintain a precise rhythm and execute a complex, syncopated beat that resonates with fiery energy. The bass serves as the backbone, providing a deep, resonant, and full-bodied effect, unifying the track.

The vocals are unapologetically snarled, mixing frantic screams with stunningly melodic moments, momentarily infusing a calming energy into the ferocity of 'Dying Concrete'.

The lyrics forcefully convey the idea of a world on the brink of self-destruction due to greed and recklessness. It's a frustrated outcry against a society content with self-destruction in pursuit of gain.

'Dying Concrete' is a powerful and intense listen, showcasing both raw energy and vulnerability. The musicianship displayed in the song is nothing short of spellbinding. Once Upon the End prove themselves as highly skilled musicians executing their sound with precision and flawless structure.
