Single Preview: Jeff Fabb - See No Evil (Rock, 2024)

The drummer of Black Label Society has started a solo project in November 2023 with the release of the first record "Stealing Souls". 

In a few days he's going to release his next single. The topic of the song describes being not in a nice situation. The music happily is not of a depressing kind.

“See No Evil” means sometimes it can feel like no one wants to help you, everyone is passing you by. It feels like you’ll never finish what you’ve started…, but sometimes slow and steady will get you where you wanna be.”  -Jeff Fabb

The song plays around with a easy drum pattern but the direct and easy distorted guitars spread a somewhat spacy feeling.

It's underlined by the bass guitars that put a strong rhythm mark into the sound.  Throughout the singles duration these elements change to a more clear mood. That's something that gives the track a special note.

The vocals constantly keep the tension up in the song but fit very straight into the rest of the sound. They don't stand out at the front of "See no evil" but follow all the changes of the track which keeps just going on and on.

These elements are repeated several times and no guitar solo interrupts the structure. 

With it's catchy character this single is a good pusher for the mind to keep going in difficult times.  The sound may surprise some people who have followed Jeff Fabb's work so far but I'm sure it's more exciting this way than to release something that people might have already expected of the list of bands the drummer has performed with.

The single is going to be released on March 8th 2024. You can pre-save it now on a streaming service of your choice. 

With this little preview in mind it's exciting to see how the rest of the upcoming music might turn out. Well, let's keep a eye further on what Jeff Fabb is going to put out in the coming time with Instagram.

This new track of London-based post-rockers The Lazlo Device is going to be released this very friday 27th April 2018. It's the title tracks of the upcoming album of the same name. Heavy Metal Underdogs had a pre-listen to the new single and here's what came around:

Out of a misty intro the song beginns. "You stumble, I Fall" starts out as a harmonic, clear track. Everything is set in a balanced mood with straight vocals, drums and guitars. But as time goes by the song changes. The cymbals announce the change with their constant ringing. More rougher guitars slowly begin to fade in adding a more ghosty and moving note to the tune. Finally the rough notes start to take over bringing in a more harsh sound with distorted experimental sounds. The end comes shortly - a mixture of the more melodic and the rough parts melting together and bringing the single to an end.

I can share a little snippet of what's to come with all of you.

'You Stumble, I Fall' is set to drop on 27th April, with two more singles to follow before the release of the album later in the year.
