CTRVL is roaring out of the gates with the latest, "Borders and Coffins." It's a hard-hitting track, but it's a gut-wrenching track to war, fear, and the endless lies that societies have crammed down their throats. Rooted in hard rock, alternative rock, and grunge, the single smacks like a storm, cathartic yet relentless. "Borders and Coffins" opens with a loud, crashing intro before softening the sound to set its message.
The guitar's riffs slice through the air like a dagger, and the pounding drums drive a rhythm that reflects the urgency of what it's conveying. The vocals are all raw nerve, part scream, part statement, and feel like a battle cry for anyone sick of history repeating itself in destructive cycles. The song's form resembles a march, a protest articulated in sound, and one section breaks into the next with ever-mounting force.
The grunge factor adds a raw, unpolished, and timeless edge, while the alternative rock undertones lace through, keeping everything fresh and fiercely modern. As far as music goes, CTRVL is a weapon and a mirror, reflecting the world around us in an unrelentingly honest light. It's a call to arms against complacency, for those who refuse to look away. With this new release, CTRVL has delivered a war cry.
