Originating in London, UK, Niro Knox is a rock and metal artist who is not only a singer and songwriter but also an outstanding guitarist. He excels at fusing heart-touching lyrics with rock music. That is the magic of his music; while the words he sings are deeply touching, the melancholy is washed away by his guitar riffs and splashing the drummer’s cymbals in the background, which will have you head-banging away.
The six singles he released are not just tracks, they are a reflection and account of his inner struggles and a burning desire to be ‘saved’. His singles “Love Me Back”, “ I Don’t Believe You,” and “I Don’t Care” are about letting go of an ex who only “dragged him down” and “played games”. Niro Knox has a strong vocal prowess which he seamlessly changes in his songs from a dominating sound to a high-pitched long note shrill back to his dominating, powerful voice. That along with his exceptional guitar skills and long solo riffs, creates a musical masterpiece for the eardrums of every rock/metal music lover.
If you block out the instruments in “Save Me” and listen to Niro Knox’s raw voice singing, you can hear the emotional complexity of the lyrics and feel the emotions he is putting into it. However, despite the deep-feeling lyrics of the song, it still has a groove to it, which you cannot help but nod your head to. It is easy to listen to yet rocking at the same time, and you can hear every little intricate guitar strum played by Niro.
Niro Knox has the classic sound of old music with it also being refreshing and new, which we tasted in his six single releases. Keep your rock pants on and metal head secured while waiting for the release of his full-length album!
