Rok Ali and The Addiction’s sound borders on industrial metal on the title track of their latest album ‘Pulse’. A hair raising affair of monstrous riffs and clanging beats, ‘Pulse’ is a song that creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
American rock band with a sound that can be safely put within the boundaries or rock, with leanings on Grunge, metal, and industrial, led by tantalizing frontwoman Rok Ali, Rok Ali and the Addiction’s ‘Pulse’ is a song that has been considered for a GRAMMY. The first thing that hits about ‘Pulse’ is its doom-fueled atmosphere, dominated by gargantuan distorted guitar, horrifying riffs, and sludgy, uber slow tempo.
With riffs that are foreboding enough to bring Tool to mind, and a sound that’s alternative and industrial enough to remind of Type O Negative’s flanger-filled environments, there’s no denying that ‘Pulse’ creates an immersive, unforgettable sonic atmosphere. Rok Ali’s vocal performance is as infectious as ever, with palpable confidence and a steady pace alongside the wailing riffs, thick and doom-filled bass line, and massive beats.
‘Pulse’ is an incredibly well orchestrated cut that’s easily impactful and monstrous. A terrific mix that brings the song’s abrasive nature to the forefront, ‘Pulse’ is a weighty title song to a heavy and unforgettable album, in and of itself, a rather menacing sound.
