Deaf Autumn, a gifted band from Italy blasts onto our playlist with this bullet, What’s Going On? The track launches with the authority of the screamer tearing into the track. The cacophony of power chords and driving percussion soars into more of an enlightened chorus of vocal harmony.
The track is moody, there is enough in the transitions and breakdown to build a complete post-hardcore experience, the ups, breakdowns, and drive that feels great. I do hear some subtle echoes of more hard rock influence in the melodic vocal delivery, think Linkin Park, however, those are overcome with big moments in the guitar breakdowns that just drop hard. I do like some of the comparisons to other bid Nu Metal bands like Deftones and Papa Roach.
