Brainmaze's fresh release, "05. Uncertainty," hit hard, like waves crashing against a cliff, and it quickly becomes clear that this isn't just heavy metal music, it's a form of therapy. Ivan Shishkov, the artist behind Brainmaze and based in Bulgaria, is offering listeners an intense musical journey with his latest album, "WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME." This album is deeply personal to him and reflects his most heartfelt feelings.
This particular track is a powerful, slow-burning track that showcases Shishkov's unique style and passion. He takes charge of everything, from the music and lyrics to the visuals, while also collaborating with talented musicians worldwide. "05. Uncertainty" stands out as a strong piece in this dark collection, filled with intense guitar riffs and evocative lyrics, all crafted by Shishkov himself. The music starts with a sense of tension, creating a feeling of dread. Then, it explodes into powerful guitar sounds, like drums of war, while haunting melodies break through the heaviness. Shishkov's voice carries a mix of distress and emotion, using deep growls and desperate cries that perfectly capture the song's theme, illustrating the fear and uncertainty we all feel at times.
This music transcends mere technical skill, it delves into the personal experiences of the artist and anyone who dares to listen. There's also a global connection in the collaboration, as musicians from all over the world contributed, helping to bring Shishkov's vision to life. The music is a striking reflection of the struggles we face within ourselves, making it relatable and impactful to everyone who hears it.
