you should LISTEN to
Signals – ‘Poetry of Spite
SIGNV/S are determined to be ahead of the metalcore curve. Their new single, ‘Poetry Of Spite’, arguably is the quartet at their most venturesome and its four-and-a-half minutes will shatter stages and skulls. A devastating stomp shakes the Earth while the Vein.fm-inspired static breakdown enhances the atmospheric experimentation between vocalist Calem Pepper-Freeman’s repeated below. It’s alchemy. The remarkable ruination of the track will have listeners feeling wondrously wrecked at its conclusion.
