Saliva's back and more boisterous and ferocious as ever, this time joining with Judge & Jury for their rip-roaring new single "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts." A heavy high-octane beast driven by the undeniable punch of rap metal, hard rock, and alternative, seamlessly fused and delivered courtesy of legendary platinum producer Howard Benson, the single is both a smackdown and a rallying call for everyone who dares to raise their voice and be heard.
The song is a vessel for raw energy, pulsing rhythms, and aggressive hooks that are as recognizable to fans who have been following the group for over a decade as they are brash. Amidst a musical backdrop usually filled with declarations and nothing more, this shows that releasing great music is about getting on and doing it. As far as sound goes, the addition of Judge & Jury adds some extra bite. The way they meld rap-metal dynamics with Saliva's hard rock foundation is a force to be reckoned with, and one that's just as much about the groove as it is the grit.
Every verse is a bullseye, every chorus serves as a rallying scream, and the bridge brings in a raw, emotional moment to show there's depth beyond what is a ballistic, muscular exterior. "Hit' Em Where It Hurts" is Saliva reminding us who they are, giving a shout-out to their fans, and showing the world that loyalty and action are louder than words. Fans of high-octane rock with a philosophy will be nodding in solidarity and headbanging to every defiant beat. Saliva is back, and they've returned on their own terms. "Hit' Em Where It Hurts" is the cheer that proves resilience never goes out of fashion.
