SINGLE REVIEW: Sixpin - Wasted
Sixpin blast on their brutally honest new single 'Wasted', recounting singer Andy's own experience with addiction and alcoholism.
Channeling the retrospective frustration at all the darkness addiction causes. How it consumes every waking thought and takes over life yet provides nothing but fear and a mind lost to the insatiable desire for a fix or a drink.
Hammering and hard-hitting there's an energetic nu-metal groove running throughout as the vocals shift from pummelling dark metal bellowings to melodic metalcore soarings.
You can feel every piece of pain and regret coursing. 'Wasted' is angry and brimming with fury but also channels vulnerability with confessions of weakness and inability to resist the pull of temptation.
Musically eruptive with killer riffs, thunderous drums and mosh bit starting qualities 'Wasted' is raw, raucous, and brutally honest. There's an additive energy emerging from the track's darkness that's sure to make you feel strangely alive.
