KIN. – ‘crush’
The idea of a ‘Doomsday’ is considered fictitious by some. But with today’s threats of global war and environmental decimation, this concept could soon well become a fact for all. If a song were to soundtrack society’s demise, it would be KIN.’s latest single ‘crush’. The local quartet’s mutant metalcore formula is ruinous: the siren effect, the brutal breakdowns, the growls and screeches of vocalist Louie Workman. It demonstrates a cocktail of Vein.FM’s experimentation and END’s devastating heaviness – brilliantly calamitous.
