“Black Clouds” is an outstanding collaboration between the vocal tenacity of Copperstone, and the instrumental prowess of Heroes Fall Last. “Black Clouds” is a solid hard rock track with some elements of blues as well. It’s got gritty guitar riffs that will make you feel like a wanted outlaw, with a taste of for steel and gunpowder. The track is an audio powerhouse and will bring out the inner rock spirit hidden deep in you.

First of all, the guitar arrangement on “Black Clouds” is an absolute beast. It’s got that “desert-wild-west” vibe. Also, the specific tone used on the guitar fits perfectly. It’s not too distorted, has no excessive bass, perfect treble combination, and is intense as hell. Copperstone’s voice is sensational, especially the part where he screams. He showed immense skill and range. After that scream, it paved the way for the guitar solo. Which had a classic rock-lick style, and just a groove to listen to. The bass and drum arrangements on the track are heavy and add a deep personality to the track. The artists kept up a formidable form throughout the track and it was sensational.

During the pandemic, the two groups united. “Black Clouds” tells the tale of an inspired gunslinger who was influenced by Stephen King’s The Dark Tower books. The Gunslinger feels the burden of his guilt as he continues to kill, and the song describes his internal struggle with this issue. With each passing cloud of guilt, he feels compelled to run further and further away.
