Djebz - Leaders of Greed
Rock, Post-Rock
Denmark
Overall Impression: Danish artist Djebz combines poignant socio-political commentary with powerful riffs and ferocious rhythms, on their release of "Leaders of Greed". This uptempo track features a high-energy rock sound that's strongly influenced by eighties metal, while still maintaining a modern edge. Razor-sharp guitars and rapid-fire blast beats support dynamic male vocals as they deliver English-language lyrics that warn of growing tensions and ambitions among the global oligarchy, while also advocating for peace and prosperity. Hard rock and heavy metal fans, particularly those with strong world views, can find Djebz's "Leaders of Greed" available as a single for streaming, on all major music platforms.
Strongest Point(s): Excellent production, solid mix. Nice intro, really sets the tone for the entire track. Great energy throughout, tremendous groove. Terrific guitar tones and technique, wonderful 1980s style and sound. Solos sound fantastic. Awesome vocal performance and production; great hair-metal style and delivery, sits squarely in front of the mix with good clarity. Brilliant lyrical content; outstanding subject matter and relevant themes, keen and perceptive writing, along with a solid flow and rhyme scheme. All in all, this is a strong rock track that stands out for its message of world peace and global equity, in a genre where most lyrics are more aggressive and bellicose. It has a great contemporary sound that borrows from the past, and should therefore resonate with listeners of all ages. Very nice work, all around!
