A new single release from Crymwav delivers a great cross of classic hard rock with a bit of metal in its undertone, some great cinematic breakdowns, and vast undertones, which I all found to be quite enticing as the band really pushes forward a massive rock drive but keeps things catchy at the same time.

There's something about "Speak No Evil" that gives me bouts of nostalgia. It feels like a track that came out in the early '90s, and I really like this because it takes that element and brings it into a newer platform.

The guitar tones on this track are stellar. They are perfectly balanced, not super over the top, but still heavy enough to provide that metal sort of crunch, to go right along with the anthemic powerhouse style vocals.

This is a perfect example of a track that knows how to keep things bouncy while having a dark overtone.

It's an edgy song. The tones of the guitars, the drive of the drums, and the way the vocals are performed all have that edgy and sort of heavy rock aesthetic, but it's also bopping, catchy, bouncing, and just reminds you of bands that you grew up listening to.

You can hear a slew of influences coming into play, all under the hard rock umbrella, and there's a lot of attention paid to how the song is arranged.

This is an experienced band that knows exactly what they're going for, and when you listen to the track, you can feel this kind of energy coming off of it.

That energy is quite infectious, to say the very least. So, when you listen to the track, you find yourself getting engulfed in it.

I love the riffs on this track because they are sort of consistent and never-ending. There are heavier chunks and then little cords that go in between them, all delivering something that's melodically driving and sort of big, but also again, has that heavy punch to it.

The track also has classic crew style vocals at the chorus, which is just amazing. I miss stuff like that. You hear a lot of big, crew-style vocals in older metal or punk rock, so it's been a bit, but when I heard it here, it just worked perfectly.

Having all those vocal tracks at the chorus feels like a crowd of people. That's what crew vocals are. This adds a thickness and a bit of layers to the track, so it feels like it's got depth at those choruses.

And also helps that hook stick in your head for hours after the song is ended.

When really delving into this truck, it feels almost like it's about the world itself. The state of society, having media and other formats push propaganda down our throats on a constant basis, and everyone's reaction to things like that.

The song talks about how there are monsters everywhere, and it describes, in a way, how tense it is to live these days.

Now, that's just how I interpreted the song; others may take it a little differently.

For me, the message was loud and clear, and I feel like this is a song that expresses it perfectly.

There is also a really great breakdown section or bridge that has pianos in it, and it feels very theatrical at that section.

This happens right before a ripping guitar solo, which is something else I absolutely adored.

There's a lot of heavy music these days that lacks great guitar solos, and it's something I've missed. I'm glad to hear these guys are bringing it back and doing it properly.

This was an absolute banger of a driving, hard rock and metal single. It's got a lot to say, and it was done with an outstanding Sonic drive that presents itself as a classic band and song in the genre.

If you're a fan of classic metal or really heavy hard rock, this is definitely a single for you.

Take a deep dive into this one and remember where you heard it first.
