Setting the tone with a dimensional riser, War Gods of the Deep open Breaker of Worlds with a choral energy, dynamic production and an almost theatrical edge, transmuting into heavy metal with metaphorical prose.
The opus trips back into this Americana mood, showcasing a cinematic, dramatic and genre expansive nature from the band, which simultaneously feels cohesive. There is a powerpop segment, which once again flips back to metal. The ebbs and flows keep us engaged before an out of this world guitar solo, and a strummed and intentional moment that invites us to connect with the universe. The song feels like a movie. It’s visual with it’s prose, and nothing is expected – except for dynamic change, and a wholesome message – both of which we can get behind!
We were relieved to find out that Breaker of Worlds comes with a music video which is designed to answer the whimsical question, “What if War Gods of the Deep walked into a video greeting kiosk at a shopping mall in 1988 and decided to record a music video?”
Combining retro technology with a playful disregard for modern hard rock and heavy metal music video conventions, WGOTD has crafted a perfect visual accompaniment to their epic, anthemic and expansive single. We love the scene choices in the video, and the directorial mindset that War Gods of the Deep exhibits. The creative and entertaining video is sure to amuse anyone willing to embrace its nostalgic charm and unique concept.
As for sonic references, there is no one quite like War Gods of the Deep, so if you want a once in a lifetime experience to tap into some sonic escapism, then Breaker of Worlds is for you! We have added Breaker of Worlds to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to explore War Gods of the Deep‘s universe.
