Searching for fame, fortune and life…people would leave home and family to pursue the treasure, it may be materialistic, it may be the secret of life…
This is what MAL is talking about in their latest single “Hero’s Gold.”
MAL is one of the most consistent artists out there right now…
…one hit after another is not an easy feat to pull off, but they do…somehow.
“Hero’s Gold” veers a little bit off the darker path that MAL have perfected and have been known for, opting for a more pop/rock mood and feel.
The main guitar riff is super catchy and rocky too…and combined with the drum beat…it gives a little bit of a trippy experience…maybe because it gives out a polyrhythmic swing to the whole experience…it feels complex yet easily digestible…somehow MAL figured out a way to make it easy to feel complexity…
…this contrasting experience is one of the strengths of MAL’s “Hero’s Gold”….and a tool that MAL holds dear to their artistic hearts.
The chorus is straight forward-in-your-face-head banging stuff….
…*does sign of the horns gesture *…
Vocals soar high in the gritty clouds of heavy rock…
Guitars run, jump, scream and riffs hard…
Bass lines are groovy when it needs to be and hard when it wants to…
Drum breaks fill the atmosphere…
…everything sounds and feels tight.
…from the first second to the last second…even the ending is unique and iconic…
MAL always delivers unique experiences…and I got hooked some time ago….and this time, they’re solidifying their progressing footsteps into stardom.
If MAL would maintain this buildup and progression, it will be a short and smooth trip to the top of the artistic food chain…way to go MAL.
…and while we’re at it, let’s get to meet the lovely people of MAL once again…
Peter Hollywood on bass
Kristopher Jung on vocals/guitar
Brendan Reynolds on drums
MAL…your music always hits home and hits hard…we’re loving everything you’re doing.
We wish you all the best in life, you definitely deserve it…and a lot more.
Cheers!
