SINGLE REVIEW: Riverwolf - Dead and Gone
'Dead and Gone' tiptoes in with an intro reminiscent of The Manics' cover of “Suicide Is Painless,” featuring a distinctive guitar chime. This track builds a nervous, macabre aura that transforms into a grueling, darkened monologue of gritty vocals and distorted shoegaze energy, eventually snarling into an emotionally driven rampage. It's a harrowing yet eruptive listen, channeling an uneasy ambiance and captivation with its rich, absorbing soundscape of powerful guitars and thunderous drums.
This dynamic yet nostalgic listening experience pays homage to the grit of the 90s grunge scene. 'Dead and Gone' is driven, determined, and serves as a perfect ignitor for a mosh-out session, capturing the essence of that era with its unapologetic energy and raw authenticity.
