Seamlessly intertwining the Celtic, neo classical and metal tendencies of three entirely different musical realms, Brian King Joseph effectively carves out a lane of his own, with this compelling and gripping instrumental masterpiece.
With later dashes of heavy bass and trap rhythms, plus quirky melodic riffs and changing instrumental frontlines across a perfectly eclectic three-minute composition, RAGE is both excitably impassioned and boldly evocative at its peak.
Contrast is employed brilliantly – from one moment to the next we get these stripped back, organic moments, followed by the full-throttle and sudden high-tempo of everything united in a chaotic crescendo of energy and sound. Then there’s the mellow, emotional final quarter – a suddenly ambient, almost ballad-like mood, but still rooted amidst these intense violin notes and the familiar thud and weight of that trap bass-and-beat combo.
Known as the King of Violin, Brian King Joseph is a generational gem in the realm of neo classical creativity. His defiant sense of ability and skill at the helm meets with an essential and ever-lasting dose of emotional conviction and purpose. This means the artist is able to escape entirely into the music and the creative process, authentically feeling his way towards something that in turn embraces and uplifts its audience into a similar space of unrivalled escapism.
Notably experimental in its genre fusion but also well-grounded amidst a clear sense of structure, melodic threading, and purpose, RAGE is a fascinating, intense yet beautiful composition, and speaks volumes on behalf of the talent and possibilities that exist within the contemporary music world.
