‘Prince of the Air’ is a tune that needs to be experienced. There are multiple levels to it, many angles one could approach the record with. We’ll start with the sonic charge that the track so proudly exhibits, taking punters into a euphoric, otherworldly and inherently strange parallel universe. Introduced by a fast-paced, furious concoction of trash-metal stylings, ‘Prince of the Air’ makes its way to the darkest corners of musical Olympus, also thanks to gritty, heavily distorted guitars, chaotic drums and anthemic vocals, so fierce and powerful, perhaps aided by a charming saturation, really conveying the overall aesthetic the record seems to aspire to – an exploration of Evil and the true nature of human consciousness.
Quite a masterpiece from Good God Father, eclectic rock outfit from Oregon showcasing a knack for the unconventional and the unusual. Their haunting, complex artistry seems to rejoice in ‘Prince of the Air’, drawing the listener in with a certain aura of mystery.
Lyrically, the single focuses on the Satanic and the demonic, and the way they relate to everyone’s life experiences. Describing the concept behind it, Good God Father explain: This song offers a relief to the tensions between the sacred and profane, holy and unholy, reverent and irreverent just to scream out, ‘I feel this pressure now.’ So if nothing else, this song equips you with the counterweight to the pressure of influences pulling you in all directions.”
