The Project crash into the rock scene with their debut single โDeath of Me,โ a gritty, gasoline-soaked anthem that hits like a punch to the chest and refuses to let up. Conceived by guitarist-songwriter James Davis, this revolving-door rock collective makes a thunderous first impression, bringing together an all-star lineup of veteran musicians to deliver a track thatโs as cathartic as it is catchy. With members from bands like Face to Face, Lit, and Eagles of Death Metal, the chemistry is electric.
Opening with a punchy drum roll and searing guitar riffs, โDeath of Meโ wastes no time throwing you into its world of emotional turmoil and hard-earned defiance. Dennis Hillโs vocals are raspy and raw, full of frustration and wounded pride, delivered with the kind of lived-in grit you only get from years in the trenches. His voice rides over a wall of guitar workโtight, muscular, and anthemicโcrafted by Davis, Scott Shiflett, and Erik Ferentinos. Itโs a triple-guitar assault thatโs both aggressive and melodic, screaming arena-ready swagger.
The lyrics dive into a toxic dynamic with brutal honesty. Lines like โYou wonโt stop โtil you get the last piece of meโ and โYou bleed me dry just to see if I will surviveโ hit with emotional urgency. But itโs the chorus, โI wonโt let you be the death of me,โ that turns the anguish into a rallying cry.
The rhythm section, courtesy of Kevin Baldes on bass and Jimmy DeAnda on drums, locks into a thunderous groove that keeps the track driving hard from start to finish. The accompanying music video captures the band in their element, hammering through the track in a live studio performance that bristles with intensity.
