"Unknowing," the new single by Deflecting Ghosts, is an unbridled trip into the underbelly of emotions, ranging from despair and anger to empowerment. Melding hard rock, alternative metal, and alt-rock with one mind-bending bridge thrown in for good measure, the track strikes a kind of sweet spot between crushing heaviness and eerie melodicism, sure to resonate with fans of Cold, Deftones, and Breaking Benjamin.
"Unknowing" feels both deeply personal and universally valid. Every note feels like a response to feelings of betrayal and family fracturing with itself as its own instant call-to-arms balm. The song is a grim depiction of the cost of toxic relationships and breaking destructive cycles, but beneath it lies the message that one can eventually reclaim one's agency. "Unknowing" is the manifesto for anyone struggling to break free from hell and create their own path.
A standout for playlists such as Alternative Metal Anthems, Rock Hard, Emo Forever, and All New Rock, this song will resonate with anyone who has struggled through life's hard times but now finds themselves on the other side. Deflecting Ghosts have made an anthem out of personal devastation that, through all the fire and noise, reminds everyone what it sounds like to pull on a shirt soaked in so many people's pain.
