Emergence of a Sonic Apocalypse: A Review of “Doomsday” by The Trusted If the end of the world ever needed an uplifting soundtrack, The Trusted’s latest single, 'Doomsday,' would undoubtedly be a front-runner. Hailing from Southend-on-Sea, bandmates Dave Batchelor, Dale Holt-Mead, Fin Cunningham, and Tom Cunningham weave an indiscriminate blend of alt-rock pop with indie rock undertones that floods the senses as intensely as title of the track suggests. https://open.spotify.com/track/540Zz2WlGBa12l3RBmLN1T?si=20c5fc8cda6742db 'Doomsday' beings with an atmospheric introduction which is soon ruptured by piercing guitar hooks – they are stunning, unanticipated, and they command attention. The forceful riffs, comparable to the audaciousness of an Arctic Monkeys' sound, take us on a rollercoaster ride through melodic valleys and soaring peaks. The enchanting loftiness of these sequences is matched only by the band's technical acuity, producing something simultaneously potent and ear-pleasing. Lyrically, 'Doomsday' speaks of disintegration and despair; it is a desperate cry against isolation amplified perfectly through male vocals that are both raw and intoxicating. This sonic exploration of a psychological apocalypse, surprisingly, does not bring about feelings of dread but rather a cathartic release. The anthemic chorus is delivered with a passion reminiscent of U2's anthems—a rallying call against the wreckage of personal turmoil, echoing long after the song ends. Joy From Despair: A Dive into “The Sadface Album” by Something Moves The Trusted effectively combine the rugged timbre of indie rock with the more accessible aspects of alt rock-pop, creating a tapestry of audial emotion that appeals to both niche and mainstream listeners. The vocals shine through with distinct personality, while the exceptional instrumentation provides a solid and engaging backdrop. The largely live-feeling production on 'Doomsday' appropriately complements its theme, adding an element of rawness and authenticity to the record. In closing, 'Doomsday' by The Trusted is a sonic embodiment of upheaval and resilience interspersed with moments of intense rapture. Listeners will appreciate their ability to transform a tale of disorder to a rousing anthem capable of inciting the most impassive of hearts. To say that the world needs more of The Trusted's unique sound would be an understatement. Galvanized through bold, heart-wrenching lyrics and powerful, infectious tunefulness, 'Doomsday' stands as a testament to the band's virtuosity, indicating a bright and promising trajectory for these Southend-on-Sea natives.
