Cries of Redemption - The Return - Raw
Strap for a blistering Nu-Metal track from Cries of Redemption, 'The Return - Raw'! Led by Savannah, GA-based indie artist Ed Silva, Cries of Redemption is an exciting, experimental Modern Rock/Nu Metal project that you've got to immerse yourself into! With influences ranging from legendary axe wielders such as David Gilmour, John Frusciante, Morgan Rose and Victor de la Pena to elements of Trap, Deep House and Classical, Cries of Redemption stands tall on the shoulders of its eclectic, determined founder, talented session artists he teams with and his hybrid approach to songwriting and production. Now, lets dive into his latest scintillating release, 'The Return - Raw', taken from the EP 'Patterns'. The track opens onto ominous, emotive strings that slow burn into a thunderous metal riff section. The tone is dark, sinister, amplified by some stunning electric guitar work. Like something straight out of a Children of Bodom album. Strong, commanding female vocals enter, beautifully restrained yet simmering with a quiet rage. The lyrics paint a blood-soaked, compelling tale of two individuals locked into a all-consuming, destructive relationship. The female vocals are sung by Denisse Ferrara, who absolutely takes this track to another level with her soul-chilling delivery. Silva's vocals are enhanced to deliver just as gripping metal screams and roars that make you quiver. 'The Return - Raw' features raw, razor-sharp production and design. Siva's use of various modern audio enhancement software adds a cutting edge, while he also writes 100% of the lyrics, melodies, and guitar riffs. This is truly a benchmark for an artist to harness limitless tech while preserving the very human aspect of his creation. It's the kind of score we could see fitting right into a modern love/horror story like 'Obsession'. It's spot-on in illuminating the canyon-like distance that forms between souls as their bond disintegrates and burns down to ashes. We're captivated by what we've headbanged to with this intelligent, emotionally resonant and downright earth-shatteringly powerful track. Keep an eye out for an absolutely ripper of a breakdown just past the 3 min mark. You have been warned. Also, rock out to the rest of Cries of Redemption's thrilling new album, "Patterns" next!
