A monumental, gloomy and punchy record, ‘Watch It Burn’ hits the listeners on all sides. From the vividly dark and scary lyrical picture to the raw and furious instrumental, passing through The7thGatekeeper’s authoritative vocals. Everything is just so vibrant and colossal, making for a sonic journey that’s leftfield and alternative – perhaps not for everyone.
That said, there’s certainly an audience for it out there. Balanced between alt-rock and metal, the record will appeal to every like-minded unhinged listener. Its intro is incredibly powerful, with trashy guitar riffing that’s the perfect soundtrack to any wild mosh pit action. Citing a wide array of influences including “Dolly Parton, Jason Isbell, Muse, and Slipknot”, the Welsh project manages to pack a simple formula with deeper meaning and nuances.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Watch It Burn’, The7thGatekeeper explains: “The unique balance of our planet is being destroyed. Consumption reigns, hypocrisy thrives”. He’s not afraid to delve into controversial themes, something that will probably resonate with like-minded folks.
