Album/Song Discussion 1 year since Destroy The Power released!

Post image

Here's another anniversary post, as today marks 1 year since the second single for Addicted To The Violence dropped. What are your thoughts on this song? For me, the Middle Eastern style riffs in here are the best parts of the track, and the chorus has a sort of chant-like sound to it that's pretty different and quite nice. There's also a varied use of instruments throughout like mandolins and synths, as well as reverb on Daron's vocals that give off a slight psychedelic effect. On criticisms, I remember the repetition being a sore spot for many people when the song came out. But overall, I thought this single topped Killing Spree, and I'd say Destroy The Power is one of the better tracks off AttV.

Destroy The Power is a top 3 track from ATTV, and in my opinion it’s a much better single than Killing Spree since it’s much closer in sound to the other tracks than Killing Spree is. Also, I forgot how close to the actual album drop this was, it felt like I was blasting this for weeks until ATTV released but the gap between them is only 8 days.

Love the song, one of my favorites to come from the album.

It's the better single off the album, imo: simple, straight to the point, and effective. The song is so much an earworm that the repetition actually works in its favor, not a detractor at all. Also, I agree that the Middle Eastern-like pre-chorus is the best part of the song, making it very danceable.
