ARZENIK Drops a Massive Single
A single release from Arzenik hits hard and heavy-handed with a cross between industrial and metal with a particular crunch and production that lets everything come through with a fierce edginess.
"Fire//Entropy" is a track that wastes very little time getting to where it's going. The track hits with an incredibly massive and heavy beat that serves as the backbone to the track and beckons classic industrial while guitars deliver that dark tonality and the two go hand in hand in terms of their texture and energy.
This is a track that certainly doesn't let up. That energy level is thriving throughout the entire thing, and the song feels like it serves as an anthem.
This is a fists-in-the-air banger and throughout its unfolding, you get more and more thick production quality with new synths and keys that come into play along with those crunching guitars and vocals that are deepening and almost rumbling.
The vocal approach to this track is brilliant because the energy level of those vocals matches the song itself and that is imperative with a song like this one.
The beat of this track keeps you there. Not only is it the backbone to the track but it's the driving force behind it all.
The beat itself has a bit of a decimation effect to it which makes it even grittier but still with a rumbling low end and a thrashy high end.
You can hear that bass guitar tone throughout the entire track as well. This tone is brilliant because it has that same edginess to it and adds a lot to the bottom-end of the track.
You can tell there was a lot of attention to detail during the creation and building of this song but it never loses the personality or character that it begins with in the first place which may be the most important part of the entire thing.
It's a massive sonic drive and the whole thing hits like a sucker punch to the gut.
As you listen to it you feel like it must have been super fun to actually track and record because there's so much emphasis on that punch throughout the song.
The deeper into the track you get the more the percussion takes an expansive turn. More and more drums build up adding to the drive and giving it this thick and full-bodied feel.
This track is very edgy but also very lush. There are a lot of layers and textures going on throughout it and it builds its own atmosphere in doing so.
It's almost like an escape. By the time it's over you have to reacclimate yourself back to reality.
Between the guitars and the synths you have this sonic presence that's undeniable.
Those two elements and tones blending together make for something massive and the mix of this track is super on point.
I don't always touch on the mixes of songs but with a track like this, it's important to make sure the mix fits.
With this song, everything is balanced incredibly well so the drums cut through everything the entire time but you never miss out on any notes from the synths or expansive tonality from the guitars.
The vocals sit on top perfectly but not in an overwhelming manner.
It has brutality and aggression behind it but there's also a spirited underbelly to the entire thing that lets it Thrive the way it does.
This is a track for anyone who loves real industrial Music. Tracks that have layer and depth.
This is a song that again, creates its own atmosphere and once you're in that atmosphere, you don't want to leave.
Those vocals are robust and fit the song perfectly as the entire thing lends a hand to that grueling metal approach.
This was a killer single with an undeniable and addictive tone and energy that you want to listen to nice and loud.
This is not the kind of track you listen to at a minimal volume. You have to crank this and then you can really feel it all in your bones.
The production was super well done, pristine, crisp, thick, and impactful.
You may even want to listen to this one with headphones on because it's one of the best ways to really soak all of the layers in.
Either way, check this track out and remember where you heard it first.
