The Cosmic Alloy - Hear What I Say
Rock, Progressive Rock, Metal
New Jersey, United States
Overall Impression: The Cosmic Alloy has released their new rock tune Hear What I Say. Pulling clear inspiration from 70’s and 80’s progressive and punk rock, Hear What I Say brings a guitar-fueled sense of exploration with instant singability. Leaving no fret untouched, the guitarists shred their way through the stratosphere. The high-octane solos and lead work is sensibly balanced with crunchy power chords in the verses. Taking listeners through life lessons obtained abroad, the lyrics voice problematic similarities and dissimilarities between cultures. They are sung with a bright tone and just enough power to get the message across. Overall, Hear What I Say is high-energy prog rock tune with worldly sensibilities.
Strongest Point(s): The guitar work in Hear What I Say catches the most attention, and retains it throughout the end of the tune. It leans on the side of showmanship and awe, but avoids being too over-the-top or insufferable.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of progressive rock, hard rock, and old school punk will enjoy Hear What I Say by The Cosmic Alloy.
Artist target suggestions: Rush, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Dream Theater, The Ramones, NOFX, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Porcupine Tree, Coheed & Cambria, Symphony X, Iron Maiden, Dio
