Home.

It’s more than the building you reside in, or the people you live with. It encompasses every single thing that feels familiar and comfortable. It’s all those memorable things that make you feel content and at peace.

The brand new song from dynamic rock brothers Coridian, Rite of Passage, feels like home. An anthemic assault on the senses, but home, nonetheless. It’s instantly recognisable as being a Coridian single, and it’s undoubtedly a damn fine one at that.

And while Rite of Passage sits very comfortably amongst other Coridian songs, it also stands out above the rest. Coridian have taken their music, added more power and intensity, along with a choir of friends (which reminds me somewhat of Black Chrome’s My Band), and this has elevated their music to a whole new superior level. If there is any one song that is capable of lifting the roof off a stadium when performed live, this is it.

Rite of Passage is a passionate song about connection. It’s genuine, unrelenting and staunch; radiating with determination while preaching about the importance of self-worth. It’s a song that encourages you to stand up and fight for what you believe in. With Rite of Passage, Coridian have pushed down the barriers and broken through the walls of constraint to rise above and beyond anything they have ever achieved before.

Rite of Passage may well be the best song that Coridian have created to date, and it will be a real highlight on their upcoming EP, Eldur.
