The latest single by Port Elizabeth based bruisers Boiling Point “Dying City” is a clarion call to arms, a statement of strength in the face of adversity and a paean to the willpower that prevails in the midst of hardship.
With lyrics like “Now’s the time to witness the iron frame being born, every strike shapes us, never broken never worn” as evidenced in the second verse, it is highly apparent that “Dying City” is a rousing statement that is wired together to inspire resilience, inner fortitude and the fighting spirit that exists in every person forced to endure subordination within the existential sprawl.
Boiling Point craft the type of crushing confluence of rough-hewn Death Metal infused Hardcore that sets my synapses ablaze in a conflagration of bliss. Theirs is honest music that wears its heart on its proverbial sleeve.
“Dying City” barrels forth with a froth of ferocious chugging riffs, pounding drums, vocals that straddle the divide between mighty bellows and ghastly growls and a melodious bridge that is as infectious as it is disarming.
Imagine the vitriolic Hardcore of ‘Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire’ by Hatebreed blended with the catchy churning grooves of ‘Maximum Violence’ by Six Feet Under and you will have an inkling as to the type of Death Metal infused Hardcore Boiling Point unleash with such vigour.
“Dying City” is a rousing anthem that is as bone crunching as much as it is fraught with the essence of the beautiful struggle.
