An essential twist of authenticity and original charm, a modern take on alternative rock and grunge, from a band with a clear style and sound of their own right now. Dead Heroes actively counter the rise of regurgitated fake music, with an intense and impressively original debut, for Witch Doctor.
Introduced by way of canned old-school vocals and a sort of left-of-centre melody that’s almost a chant in its anthemic build up, Witch Doctor presents a series of provocative and interesting lyrics, and goes on to drop in with a fierce and again impressively unique hook.
This song is a kind of alternative, dark outcry, creatively structured for impact, and not drawing any direct comparisons with bands from the past. Dead Heroes note acts like Queens of The Stone Age amidst their influences, along with heavier rock legends like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but in essence, Witch Doctor guides us into a fresh realm of contemporary expression. It’s a twisty and tumultuous capture, utilising contrast perfectly throughout its post five-minute lifespan, and Dead Heroes hold your attention and uplift your passions consistently throughout.
Their creativity is exciting, along with their intensity and grit, their realism and reflectiveness, as a rising indie band. Great riffs, great writing – a seductive blending of melody and chaos. Definitely one to watch.
