This Week’s ‘Riffs & Roads’ List Presents Dark Gradients that Makes you THink

By

Rosetta West – Town of Tomorrow 

Rosetta West’s blues rock is coarse and gritty. It is deliciously crunchy in its gloomy riff atmospheres, ensconced in the vintage frame. Their latest is the ‘God of the Dead’ album, a collection that pairs perfectly with a long drive. Its contemplative darkness and mellow morbidity adds so much value to your solitude as you ride through dusty roads. Taken from the album is ‘Town of Tomorrow’, a track that would readily fit into the TV Show, Preacher’s song list. With its gruff instrumentals, low tonal baritonal blur and wandering folk blues chords, the track is as in the past as it is in the tomorrow. The band explores a lot of retro ideas, reviving them with a spirit of experiment and creativity. Listen Now! 

Shyfrin Alliance – Colours of Time 

The cinematic flavors of Shyfrin Alliance take on a rock sheen in his latest, ‘Colours of Time’. Its dark mood and heavy instrumentals are so alluring. The vocals have a hypnotic mystery in them, one that calls and connects to the ethereal. It delves into the fantastically dimensions of time as imagined by many many books and movies. The song is a steady, enduring march that reveals such beautiful spheres of thought. The atmosphere in the song is irresistible. Within seconds of its opening, you’re already cast in its charm, fallen under its spell. And you’re caught in a strange, timeless place. It’s lot scary but it’s intriguing and interesting, with so much of mystique and depth to it; all unravelling the more you listen to it. 

Calling All Astronauts – pray for your soul 

The song is the perfect conclusion to this week’s ’Riffs and Roads’ queue. It has dark gradients and textures to show for it. But it also has the power as it drives through the sludge of the basslines. The riffs are omnipresent, fiery and aflame with a grand scheme of its own. It sustains and carries the emphatic vocal presentation. If you love a good hard rock song, this one will blow your socks off with its interpretative design. Adding features of stoner rock and experimental grunge and nu metal, the song is so full of shadows and secrets. The vocals blend into the atmospheric instrumental swish as if it’s a part of the set up. And the cohesive design keeps on grinding, indulging the listener’s dark imaginative sphere.
