Inspiration comes from the most diverse sources. For American rocker Maximilian Wentz, inspiration manifests in the shape of a popular videogame, ‘Little Nightmares’. The puzzle-style horror game has informed Wentz’s lyrical narrative, driving him to focus on the complexity of human nature and the painful quality of life’s challenges. ‘Your Silhouette’ is the latest instalment in a series of songs on the same theme, and it helps us understand Maximilian’s convoluted artistry a bit better.
While its lyricism follows a specific, pre-defined script, the track also carries strong musical value, showcasing Wentz’s knack for hard rock and metal, all drenched in poignant and orchestral vibes. In ‘Your Silhouette’, we are met by a classic rock-style arrangement, proudly carrying the Maine-based talent’s evocative vocals. Suddenly though, we catch glimpses of the artist’s heavy metal identity, like feeble moments that remind the listener that there’s more under the surface.
A consumed performer, Maximilian Wentz has been known widely in New England, thanks to past militancy in bands and various awards on his name. What matters, though, is his current project, which saw him reconciling with his musical identity, delivering authentic and inspiring material. And we love it!
