Wailin Storms are ready to present to the world their own Southern gothic rock style with the enigmatic fifth album “The Arsonist”.
A darkened dense atmosphere surrounds “Dead End” and echoes of distorted guitars become dangerously heavier ultimately leading to massive & loud rhythmic patterns amplified by rebellious screams in glorious post-punk fashion.
On “Heart of Mine” the charismatic vocals reach a contemplative depth well supported by the mellow guitar progressions while the eclectic rhythmic section can still impress the audience with increasing inflamed energy.
The title track aptly expresses ardent passion through warm bluesy melodic phrases and tormented rhythmic crescendos perfectly complemented by a rather dramatic vocal performance.
“The Wind” is filled with gritty guitar riffs which spontaneously generate a cohesive series of monolithic grooves until everything slows down to highlight a tragic melodic essence.
“It’s All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used to Be” immediately reveals a stunning poetic melancholia with the gothic romance of melodic guitars, minimalist piano and calm vocals.
Attracted to fire and danger Wailin Storms confidently move forward solidifying their musical identity in the cryptic world of “The Arsonist”.
