WRAITH RELEASE “OVER THE TOP” SINGLE!
Over The Top” is the newest single from Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal behemoths, WRAITH. The smoldering new hymn comes by way of the band’s World War I-themed Descent Into Darkness full-length, slated to drop on November 13th through Prosthetic Records.
An ominous bass line crawls beneath a creeping guitar groove on “Over The Top.” Vocalist/guitarist Matt Sokol sneers, “Go,” and the track kicks into high gear. It captures the anxiety and tension of soldiers in a foxhole hanging on for dear life as a menacingly melodic lead pulls them back to the front.
“It’s my interpretation of what it would be like to go ‘Over The Top,’ which is the military expression for entering the battlefield from the trenches,” he sets the scene. “This character isn’t sure what’s going to happen, the whistle blows, and it’s time. The momentum of the track is similar. It goes from slow and plodding to fast.”
