Band: SLUNG
Who: 4 new British loud kids on the block who deliver blistering
riffs, sinister drums and sickly sweet vocals, all wrapped up in a tasty
tortellini of 90’s slacker rock nostalgia.
Track: FIRE TO BURN
Only their 2nd single following charged-up,
melodic, debut explosion Neurotic
Katie Oldham (vocalist): “I fully believe that whatever divine intervention first brought
the seeds of this song into our lives was not going to let us form it incorrectly, as our first attempts at completing it were thwarted. Notably, this was very soon after we visited a
museum of magic and witchcraft whilst on tour.
Throughout the whole process of writing this track there seemed to be this kind of mystical guiding force nudging it away from being anything other than what we ended up with. When the final vocal melody mainlined into my brain from this mysterious otherworldly donor, I instantly knew the lyrics needed to be about witchcraft.”
Fire To Burn is a vicious, grungy metallic torch that
progress slowly but surely to a volcanic climax.
Wake up people,
it’s getting hot.
“Fighting on the outside
But I’m falling on my knees
Taking all I can from all the air that I breathe
Wuh-oh-oh
A lesson never learned
The only thing worth knowing is when
There’s a fire to burn”
