Chicago’s War Gods of the Deep are back with a sonic explosion on their latest single, “Breaker of Worlds.” This genre-bending banger throws caution to the wind with 70s country pop, nu-metal, and classic rock and metal coming together to form a superhero anthem straight out of the comics.
“Breaker of Worlds” opens with a building synth pulse that ushers a tight acapella performance of layered vocals, delivered in a unified, anthemic style. But then, the hammer drops. Guitars and drums slam down, while the backing vocals morph into soulful vocalizations. Distortion roars to life, and the guitars grind with a heavy fervor. The vocalist gets up a gnarled metallic snarl before the layers of vocals come back with the empowering chorus, “I am the breaker of worlds!”
“Breaker of Worlds” is a sonic rollercoaster ride with the mosh pits becoming a folksy sunlit charm. The verses offer a surprising respite, with a shimmering, light, and airy rhythm section providing a soothing backdrop for the layered vocals to soar ethereally. But the distorted guitars are always lurking just around the corner, ready to pounce and launch you back into the heart of the mosh pit.
The following catchy verse is packed with empowering lyrics that will have you singing along at the top of your lungs. The driving, energetic guitar solo is the icing on the cake which gives you the initiative to complete the anthemic fantasy with your imagination.
