Plug your earphones in and let the instruments speak to your eardrums, “Inner Fight” by Stefanos, a four-track rock instrumental EP, tells a story to the listener through melodic guitar strumming. Each intricate strum and riff, laced with the sound of crashing drums in the background, come together to form words that the listener cannot verbally hear but feel. “Inner Fight” is beautiful in a way that it lets the music do the “speaking.”
“New Day” opens this EP with an upbeat and joyful melody, which sets the mood of waking up in the morning refreshed and ready to “seize the day.” The melody and rhythm of the guitar change throughout this song at different intervals, reflecting the changes in time through the day with different energy levels.
“Love & Hate” begins with heavy, stressed riffs that portray the emotion of hate that later transitions into a more soft, uplifting riff that represents the feeling of love. The back and forth between these two contrasting melodies tell the story of an individual’s inner conflict regarding their bipolar feeling towards something.
“Inner Fight” tells the story of confronting your inner turmoils and breaking away from those chains that held you down, allowing you to “fly” freely. “Peace On My Mind” closes this EP with a track filled with soft rhythmic strums reflecting the inner peace achieved after confronting your demons.
Listen to “Inner Fight” to experience a one-of-a-kind storytelling experience through Stefanos Andritsios’s guitar play.
