A brand new single release from The Silver Echo delivers an intense alternative and electronic rock soundscape with unique and driving synthesizers and massive guitar tones, along with anthemic vocals that give the song a sense of empowerment and impact.
"Take The Flame" focuses on thriving. It utilizes fire as a symbol for moving forward, taking the reins on your own life, and aiming for what you want, working as hard as you can, and not letting anything stand in your way.
It has a heavy-handed sentiment in the message that comes through crystal clear.
It is something that you can sort of feel in your blood when you listen to the track. You get that sense of empowerment yourself and realize that the song is completely right. It helps drive that inner voice inside of you that tells you to keep moving forward.
Now, there are a lot of things in life that get in your way. Life is full of struggles, obstacles, emotions, and everything else under the sun. This is not putting any of that aside, but instead focusing on pushing through that.
It's about not stopping until you're dead.
For me, this is a sentiment I sort of live by. I totally connected with the message behind this track 100% and it felt good to be understood on that kind of level.
Having a sort of sense of ethics in your life in terms of powering through and going for things that you really want, is something that not everybody has.
Most people don't. I feel like a lot of us have a similar energy deep inside, and it's outstanding to hear a track that pinpoints that so well.
What's brilliant is that the track articulates that sense of empowerment, strength, and energy so well, and the music behind it lets that completely thrive.
So, we have amazing synths throughout the track that add these different textures to the song itself and the soundscape that it delivers, bringing on a certain kind of vastness and its undertone and a bit of atmosphere.
The guitar work is absolutely driving with heavy-handed distortion bringing on an edgy alt-rock style and feel, aesthetic, and grit.
The drums are absolutely slamming and definitely help the song come through with a very driving and forward-moving motion, as well as adding to the intensity the song boasts.
The track does have a great intensity to it, and I think this is a huge part of why it's so impactful.
The vocal approach is again, completely anthemic. They're super melodic, but powerful, belting out with closed fists, high in the air, and it's something that balances the energy of the band perfectly.
Everyone is on the same page energy-wise. It's all enthralling and pushing forward with such robust gusto, and the whole thing hits like a sucker punch to the gut, put in a good way.
For some, the track is almost like a wake-up call. Don't forget what we're here for.
I love that.
A lot of people will be able to relate to this track and it's powerful approach and message.
One of my favorite attributes of this track is the fact that there's some amazing guitar work in there. There are a few different bridge sections, but one of them has this great sort of guitar lead stuff just shredding in the background, and it's brilliantly done because it's tasteful.
Having some great guitar solo or lead work in a heavy rock song is something that is a necessity, if you ask me.
A lot of bands exclude that now, and I don't understand why.
It's kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. I love how these guys bring that back in that sort of tasteful manner so that it's not all up in your face. You get a great sort of ripping lead section in there, but it's done in a way that builds, and by the time it hits the craziness, it sits slightly underneath the chorus.
This also helps drive that final set of choruses through the roof, of course, and works like a charm.
The whole thing was done with great attention to detail in terms of the arrangement and performance. These guys really paid attention to exactly what they were doing and how they were doing it, but the important thing is that the character and message behind the song come across.
This was a banger of a track that you should definitely not be missing.
As far as we can tell, this is a glimpse of an upcoming album, set for this October, and I can't wait to hear it because if there's more like this, I'm all in.
Absolutely check this track out and turn it up or listen with headphones on nice and loud.
Either way, there's a lot to take in here, and it hits pretty damn hard.
Remember where you heard it first.
