A fresh banger from Third Knuckle brings a massive sonic drive and a rising level of intensity in the form of a metal single that comes through as melodic and brings on a gothic edge that becomes quickly addicting.
"The Page" hits with a very memorable riff that beckons classic melodic metal, and the production of this track is Stellar through and through as it feels polished but edgy at the same time.
You can tell that there are a lot of different influences involved with this track and the energy level is perfect to the point where it feels like the track was almost recorded live on the floor to an extent and everyone involved was feeding off of each other's energies the entire time.
I love hearing a band that you know are going to be amazing to see live just from listening to their record. This is most certainly one of those bands.
They have a great presence to them and the track is arranged very well as it manages to also blend these emotional undertones and lyrically impactful approaches that all make the track hit hard but also with a bit of honesty. This is a combination I certainly enjoy.
There are a few surprises around the corners which I certainly loved, and the vocal approach is outstanding because the vocals are deep and almost baritone which gives everything this thick feel that is not only well-rounded but packs a punch that feels layered and vast in a way.
The track does certainly have an expansive undertone but one of my favorite aspects about it is that you have some layers of guitars that overlap each other and bring different vibes to the song.
Some of the guitars feel like they beckon classic '80s metal in a way while the overlaying guitar work is more trudging, palm muted, and hard-hitting.
This lets the song come through with this great melodic approach and it works wonders for the song because the whole thing just feels bigger.
You also have some great guitar solo work here that comes through melodically but still shreds a bit and I think the whole thing really showcases the band's ability to write a song that is impactful and full of character and personality but also has that heavy edge and underbelly that rumbles.
This was a very catchy track but in a melodic metal style, and again, it does have this almost dark undertone at times but also has a certain lightness to it as well and I feel like the way that they combine those two elements and make it work seamlessly is impressive.
You can tell these guys have a real love for their craft, and when I say that I don't just mean playing instruments or singing, I mean writing songs together that hit in a specific way. Songs that are memorable.
This was a killer track, and I definitely suggest checking this out especially if you love classic, deepening, melodic metal that has layers to it and something to say.
Check this track out and don't be afraid to turn it up.
Remember where you heard it first.
