Electric Circus Strikes Hard with Their Latest Anthem, ‘War Crimes’ – Single Review

Electric Circus’s new single goes hard. With its massive production and hard rock riffs, the single comes together as a thoroughly satisfying package.

From the outset, you’re greeted with a punch of distortion, with guitar lines layered on top of each other, each contributing to the cacophony of noise the band is creating.

These are joined in the mix by a thumping drum track, adding even more power to the track, building the hype before the vocals kick in.

Lyrically, the song addresses the current societal decline that the Western world is experiencing, with references to the Doomsday Clock amongst other pointed commentary the band makes.

This unfolds over an ever-steady blend of riffs that complement the track’s thematic focus.

The overall effect is reminiscent of rock titans like Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters, with a nod to heavier groups such as Bring Me the Horizon.

The expertly executed breakdown towards the end of the track particularly brought to mind some of those heavier groups, sounding primed for a live setting.

Overall, this is a great rock track that skilfully combines a variety of influences. If you like your riffs hard, then you’ll love this single.
