A Heavy Handed and Anthemic Single from Harroway

A brand new release from Harroway just dropped, and this track is absolutely massive as it comes across with a fresh blend of grueling and deepening metal and hardcore crossover sounds along with this unbelievably anthemic and melodic chorus that feels huge, vast, and cinematic while still hitting super hard.

"Narsociety" is a blistering track and certainly doesn't hold back in terms of fierce and heavy riffs along with a thick guitar tone that still boasts a great sharpness and packs a massive punch.

There are a few different sets of vocals on this track, and I think that's a big part of why it comes through with such a unique tonality.

Throughout most of the song, you have this super heavy scream vocal that hits in sort of a hardcore and metal approach, but not death metal. It's not grueling or growling. It's a fierce scream that has a massive fire behind it.

I love this approach because it works really well with the music itself, because the song isn't just Treasury and heaviness. There's a lot of melody and outstanding guitar work that is tracked on top of each other to give that depth, and a lot of the guitar hooks are super melodic, which is something I've actually missed in terms of really good metal anyway. 

You always get some good choruses, or at least most of the time. But you rarely get guitar hooks anymore. A great riff is a great riff. It can drive the song, it serves as the meat of a track, and why you get caught up in it.

However, you rarely get a lot of guitar hooks that aren't just a meaty riff, but this track gives you both, so to have that melodic-based track with the fierce screaming is a great balance.

When it breaks into that chorus, the vocals are 100% melodic, but they're powerful. These are fists in the air, sing-along anthem power vocals that leave an impact and come through a heavy-handed authenticity.

There's something about this track that has that vast spaciousness in its underbelly, and I think that comes from some of the tones and notes that are floating through the song's giving it this bigger atmosphere.

You can hear this kind of texture and tone a lot of the time before the big chorus kicks in, and that's where it feels a little bit cinematic to me.

You can also hear this message lyrically. It's about breaking out or breaking away from whatever the norm is; however, I do feel like it is aimed towards social media aspects and digital obsessions in terms of how people portray themselves online.

It's sort of a cry out, telling us that we need to break away from that because none of it really matters.

I feel like this band is 100% correct. People pay too much attention to what others think of them, and social media and their digital presence are what represent that.

Meanwhile, we should be focusing more on our actual lives because the lives we live are not the ones we show on social media.

A lot of us have dealt with this and know all about it, and it's a song that really represents that sort of struggle and how we put so much of ourselves into that online presence when it has no actual meaning.

Anyway, that's how I took it. I think others may take the song a little differently depending on who is listening.

Either way, this is a total banger and it does send a strong message and boasts some emotional backbone for sure.

The whole thing was brilliantly put together and has this unique and intense form of sonic presence and drive you rarely get these days.

It's not just a thrashing metal track. This is a brilliant combination of Hardcore, melodic metal, thrash metal, alternative rock, and plenty more, all rolled into one fat track that hits hard right where it needs to.

Check this track out as it was just released, and this is absolutely a song that speaks volumes for the band, which formed in 2019 and has since been paving their own path in the heavy rock and metal community.

Harroway is 100% a band to keep an eye on, especially if you love having music.

Remember where you heard this first.
