West Virginia hard rockers The Grym Sins release latest single/video ‘Downpour’ – a modern twist on classic rock with a bitter love story twist!
The Grym Sins, the West Virginia hard rock band, have recently released their latest single, “Downpour”. The track combines the classic and blues rock influences of the early 70s with a contemporary, heavier sound. Opening with a lead riff that brings to mind iconic tracks like Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean” and Dirty Honey’s “Take My Hand,” the song immediately evokes the spirit of early rock n’ roll. With a focus on the rhythm section, “Downpour” has a mix of groove, attitude, and drive that will keep listeners engaged throughout.
Lyrically, “Downpour” explores the aftermath of a failed relationship from the perspective of the wronged party. The song highlights the monotony and apathy that can develop in a relationship that has run its course, with certain lyrics being repeated to emphasize the sense of déjà vu. The breaking point is powerfully conveyed through the bridge breakdown riff, which builds up slowly before breaking into a fast, legato rundown that captures the emotional push and pull of the situation. The song concludes with a repeat of this riff, providing a satisfyingly heavy finale that perfectly captures the themes of the track. – Explains front man Lane
