Quickly impressive and boldly impassioned – a fresh take on metalcore and poignant songwriting that’s performatively faultless – Faded Lies is the brand new single from Requiem Infernum, and it marks an impressive introduction to the band’s evocative and immersive style.
Birmingham metalcore band Requiem Infernum intertwine power and presence with the authenticity and creative integrity of their sound. The mix here is reverb-kissed, the tempo fierce, distortion and depth countered by accessible, melodic vocals rather distantly panned. It’s a piercing ode to metalcore and gothic core akin to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon somewhat, but the style is quite clearly Requiem Infernum’s own – a gripping fusion of delicacy and power.
Poetically and passionately exploring thoughts of inner turmoil and deception, Faded Lies employs a confident and characterful leading voice, with additional layers of metal screams and echoes, which effectively help ignite the passionate intensity and weight of the song’s storyline and tempo.
An engaging and even catchy new single, a fine dose of originality and escapism all at once, from a band who will no doubt put on an unmissable live show
