Crushpoint - Heartache

Crushpoint

Heartache
self-released; 2023

By Matt Jensen

Crushpoint, the hard rock band hailing from North Texas, has carved out a distinctive musical style and charted their own course. Their music blends scorching desert rock with the raw emotions of the plains, resulting in a sound as tough and unyielding as granite. With their groove-infused guitar and bass, powerful lyrics, and expansive drumming, Crushpoint offers a complete rock experience that is both timely and authentic.

Having immersed myself in the musical labyrinth, today's rendezvous leads me to an expedition through their latest creation - a symphony baptized as "Heartache." The opus commences with a guitar riff so electrifying that one can sense it propelling into flight, a tempestuous anticipation awaiting release. Soon, the rhythmic heartbeat of drums and bass intertwine, propelling the composition into an abyss of escalating fervor, like a surging tempest that refuses to relent.

The vocals are delivered in an almost stoic way and they also become more fierce and open up as the song progresses. I was blown away by the incredible drumming on this song. The whole band is just tight and on point.

Within the symphonic tapestry, at the song's very core, a celestial dance begins - a phaser-infused breakdown, a celestial waltz of shimmering tones. Like the fractals of a dream dissolving into the ethereal mist, it crumbles into the embrace of distorted white noise, a cacophony of cosmic whispers. Yet, this is not the band's final bow; from the embers of sound, they reemerge with an unyielding sense of purpose. A sonic renaissance unfurls, and now, they possess the reins of the stereo field, orchestrating a grand opus of obliteration. 

This song was pretty incredible. It’s the type of song that grabs your attention and doesn't let go till the journey is over. If you need a jolt and don’t have any coffee around this song should certainly help. Fans of metal should love this. I did. Recommended.
