Review By Glen Parkes
Cory Marks has never been one to play it safe, and his latest single “Hangman” proves it in spades. Blending the grit of outlaw country with the muscle of hard rock, this track hits like a steel-toed boot to the chest. It’s dark, it’s defiant, and it sets the tone for his upcoming album Sorry For Nothing Volume 2, due October 3 via Better Noise Music.
From the first snarling riff, “Hangman” drips with tension. Marks’ vocal delivery is loaded with grit and conviction, carrying a weight that feels earned. The track paints a vivid picture—part western showdown, part modern-day battle cry—of standing tall in the face of those who doubt you. There’s no pleading here, no compromise; just a demand to be seen and heard, no matter the cost.
Instrumentally, it’s a powerhouse. The roaring guitars have the bite of classic rock greats, while the drums land with the heavy stomp of boots on a gallows platform. It’s the kind of track that feels tailor-made for a live crowd, fists pumping in unison as the chorus explodes.
What makes “Hangman” stand out is how it captures both rebellion and resilience. Marks channels the spirit of an artist unwilling to bend to industry trends, standing his ground with the swagger of someone who knows his sound is worth fighting for. It’s not just a song—it’s a statement.
If “Hangman” is any indication, Sorry For Nothing Volume 2 won’t be pulling any punches. Cory Marks is doubling down on authenticity, and in doing so, he’s delivering the kind of music that doesn’t just play in the background—it grabs you by the collar and demands your attention.
