Dropping Friday, November 22nd, this track is a sonic battering ram aimed at the collective skulls of the masses. These guys don’t just play metalcore; they weaponize it. And Diluted is their latest armament.
Let’s break it down:
- THE RIFFS: Absolutely skull-shattering. Imagine a freight train filled with amplifiers careening into a wall made of your childhood traumas. That’s the vibe.
- THE VOCALS: Jesse Hernandez isn’t just singing—he’s leading a rebellion with his vocal cords. His voice is somewhere between a battle cry and a pissed-off thunderstorm.
- THE MESSAGE: Hernandez describes Diluted as a wake-up call: “It’s about breaking free from the brainwashed state, rejecting the strings others pull, and taking control of our own lives.
