Single Review: Afterburner

The scorching guitar intro commands your attention and declares you better be ready to rock. This superb new song by Hunt the Witch rocks along with a guitar sound that is white hot and feverish, coupled by a potent lead vocal by Sam Whitley that fits the symphonic guitar sound so well, Sam has a smooth and yet powerful and slightly demonic voice, a mix of Eddie Vedder and Marilyn Manson.

The dynamic rhythm of Jason Peters’ drums and Anthony Larkin’s velvet bass provide a pulsating experience for Bevan Carbines excellent guitar exertions. Fortified with an unrelenting beat, it drives the bursting guitar grinds with metronomic certainty and provides a flawless foundation for Sam’s stirring vocal performance.

Afterburner is a soaring song that must be a killer live, a track that will get your head banging and your air guitar working overtime, so I recommend you stretch your neck and check it out.
