Single – No Angels Alive
Release – 9th July 24
Review by Linda McDermott
Power rockers DAMPF are an eight-piece metal band from Sweden who’s debut album ‘The Arrival’ came out in 2022. Since then, they have played live at numerous festivals and released several singles.
Now ready to launch their second album ‘No Angles Alive’ due out on 23rd August they have released the second single and the title track from it. They say of the single that, “it offers a fresh view of the heart of modern darkness. It is a belter of a track with a powerful intro to the melodic harmonies, that build up throughout the song, with a sing along chorus and soaring guitar riffs”.
Keyboard/songwriter, Beak describes the story of the track “We live in a chaotic world, and these are dark times, so metaphorically speaking, it’s about all the angels having been withdrawn from earth and sent back to heaven thus leaving us on our own down here in this limbo. It all just feels hopeless: we can’t do anything more because humanity is on a rampage and it’s not going to end well. Let’s find another planet to save, shall we?!”
The latest track from the forthcoming second album of this dynamic eight-piece band is a heavy and powerful anthem. The song features both male and female singers, with Martin and Olivia’s voices intertwining to tell a compelling story of a world spiralling out of control. The vocal tones add depth and intensity, perfectly capturing the song’s dark narrative. I find that the music’s driving tempo is infectious and has me nodding along in appreciation. The song is melodic in its delivery but with a heavy beat that runs deep, creating a track that blends harmoniously.
The energy that is created by having two vocalists and a multitude of musicians adds guts to the song that gives it its spirited and infectious sound. With this, the second song from the album, it bodes well for what is to come when it is released in August.
The single is accompanied by a video that is complimentary to the song with painted faces and a gothic feel. You can check it out on YouTube on the link below?
