KrashKarma - Falling To Pieces (2023)

I am always a little apprehensive when listening to new music. In my honest opinion, it is littered with rubbish & drivel. This was tagged as Alternative Metal, Nu-Metal. My audio horizons are vast. I listen to it all if it sounds good to me. I like what I like. Not a fan of the Cookie Monster vocals, or harder faster, musician that turn music to noise. I need a melody, I love harmonies, and I love a good hook. Who doesn’t? Nonetheless, I gave this a listen. Starts out with a typical nu-metal growl, instantly said to myself, “oh boy here we go, wait…. was that a woman?... Not a fan of growling women in nu-metal. Woah, great guitars and drums here…wait, she is singing, and she’s great! Complimented by his growlish vocals. This is awesome. The chorus is the hook for me that works, as well as the vocal break after the unique and astounding guitar solo. This song is fantastic!! It’s an official video and, wait, are there only two people in this band? Clearly I hear more than one guitar and bass. Do a little research, and yes they are a duo. Incredible… His guitar has two pick ups, one standard guitar, and one bass. Add some effect pedals and you got yourself a full sound. I did watch some live performances, where some of it is more like performance art, but this song at least is worth a listen.
