I.D.K - Nark5
'Nark5' is an electrifying, alt-rock, metal wake-up call from I.D.K! The much-awaited release from the Jersey rockers marks their explosive return to the scene after a decades long hiatus. And goddamnn do they make an instantaneous impact with 'Nark5'! It's a high-octane track, screaming of attitude, angst, and rebellion. For a group that's been around since the 90s, they're rzor sharp and, in fact, bridge the gap between the no nonsense thrash metal era of the 80s-90s with today with refreshing confidence & volume. Buckle up! The track opens with ominous sirens and snare intros that lead up into an epic mosh-inducing whirlpool of distortion riffs. It's giving RATM x Megadeth kinda badass energy here with riifs spaced between raging whispers of 'One Way Out'. It blooms into an excellent metal arrangement, gripping, anarchically upbeat, dripping with panache and personality. "Nark5" oozes a fantastic urgency and revolutionary nature; this could very well be the score to 'V for Vendetta'. That word, vendetta, hits the nail on head, describing the epic headspace this group is in while delivering this gem. Their years of playing together, tearing it up around the underground metal scene pays rich dividends. Their balance & cohesion is downright stupendous. This release is nothing short of a mind-blowing statement piece. It speaks (loud) volumes to the group's enduring metal heart and soul. We're blown away by the epicness of this track's energy. But also, it's sheer earth-shattering metal power and heart. I.D.K. Keep it simple, stripped down, and hard-hitting. Just like metal was meant to be.
