Once again i've been treated to another quality offering from the fine folk of Melodic Metalcore oufit Koma in the form of their brilliant new single Of Dionysus And The Vine let's get into the finer details this track has to offer.
Just like previous tracks The Betrayed & Dichotomy there's plenty of melodic parts,groove laden hooks and aggression on offer but there is an added dark atmosphere which also has an almost Thrash Metal feeling to it, the lead and backing vocals are pushed to a different level on this without going too far from the dynamics on the previous tracks.the lyrical theme is inspired by the Greek God of wine and revelry Dionysus,it touches on the intoxicating power of the consuming alcohol and is intended to capture the tragedy comedy and festivities when one is partaking in the revelry of drinking.
Everything Koma have done thus far oozes quality,passion and a hunger to deliver songs full of catchy hooks, melody and memorable topics that also fit in with the trials and tribulations life has to offer,even the artwork on each single,done by the extremly talented Adam Brown of Dead Flesh Tattoo tells a story in itself,the production is absolutely sublime thanks to the midas touch of Josh Sid Robinson of JSR Audio,over all Koma have once again delivered the goods and i for one cannot wait til they releases an EP or Full Length Album,they have all the nuances to build something special that has longevity and constantly evolve their sound organically
RATING: 9/10
