"Salt the Wound" Single Review
The track starts up with a flurry of that hard and heavy Metalcore action. The chuggery in the first verse keeps the energy intense throughout as the blast beats churn to and fro like a rusty swingset. The track dips down a bit into a more melodic tone for the clean sung chorus. The early As I Lay Dying vibes shine through as the breakdowns conjure up some serious moshability. The bridge features a buildup to an eventual breakdown that aims to shake the ground with its Metalcore fury. The chorus and touch of aggression helps wrap things up in a tight bow.
Verdict:
Absence Embodied takes a sledgehammer to the Metalcore genre with their newest single.
