Sydney-based Industrial Metal Heavyweights, Our Last Enemy, have just released their Powerfully Dynamic new single ‘Long Time Coming’ taken from their upcoming EP ‘As Above, So Below’ due for May’s release 14th, 2021. ‘Long Time Coming’ is a brooding melodic tale showcasing Our Last Enemy’s more sophisticated side with sonically diverse layers underpinned by the band’s signature merciless soundscape.
This fearless track introduces itself with a moody guitar-picked passage saturated in a healthy amount of delay and reverb to get under the listener’s skin. The verses offer tense rising pulses of synths incorporated with crushing distorted guitars bolstering Oliver Fogwell’s powerful vocals reminiscent of Trent Reznor. ‘Long Time Coming’ interweaves an infectiously catchy and upbeat chorus with dark and moody industrial metal and goth rock elements to create this high-impact audible manifesto. This single showcases a band that is stepping out of the shadows by delivering a refined and introspective song with commendable dynamic sensibilities.
Bassist Matt Heywood explains ‘Musically; it’s a coming of age, lyrically it’s more personal than ever. Commenting on our internal struggles and personal confrontations with love, loss, the looming inevitable, and what should have happened long ago.’
