The London-based rock band The Midnight Vortex unleashes a sonic storm with their latest track, โCOME & PLAY.โ Drawing inspiration from grunge, blues rock, and raw guitar music, the band delivers a relentless assault of soaring, gritty guitars and a pulsating rhythm that ignites the senses.
Led by the powerful and tender vocals of Bri Macanas, The Midnight Vortex takes listeners into an uncanny realm of the mind. Macanasโs rich and tender, impassioned voice has immense control over her wide range, often intentionally strained with emotion to evoke a sense of pain and agony. Her cult-like and demented hollered chants in the chorus add a belligerent frustration to the grungy punk mood above the distorted guitars and sparkly splashing drumming patterns.
The instrumentation on โCOME & PLAYโ is equally impressive. The twin guitars of Mouad Qach and Robin Thunders unleash a torrent of riff-laden goodness, engulfing the listener in a grunge-infused experience. The bass, masterfully handled by Danny Sands, drives the music forward with its moody undertones, creating a brooding atmosphere. Leo Kumaโs drumming provides a strong and pulsating rhythm that sets the foundation for the bandโs explosive energy, sending electricity into the dark abyss.
The Midnight Vortexโs songwriting on โCOME & PLAYโ is intriguing and thought-provoking. The track delves into themes of mental health and the impact of toxicity and manipulation in relationships. The lyrics are introspective, offering a glimpse into the struggle of standing up against such toxicity while still longing for companionship and love.
So, if you like eclectic rock legends like Soundgarden, Nirvana, The Doors, and Led Zeppelin, you will love โCOME & PLAYโ by The Midnight Vortex.
