Stuttering, burbling sound effects open it up, followed swiftly by driving electronic beats and a huge drum beat. This one pins you to the wall until you scream out that you love it (which, most probably, you will). While they have indulged heavily in the new age of effects, left, right and centre,the backbone of this band comes from a gnarly snarl, and a back-to-basics distorted guitar. There is an inexorable rock star ethic, about this band. Given their aesthetics across their socials, it would be safe to assume it’s a case for the latter.

‘Say My Name’ is either intentionally overtly hipster, or the band are actually just that mad. It would appear that they love to question everyone’s preconceptions of genre. But the best thing about all of it, is that it’s business as usual for the band. There is all sorts featuring in (IAM)WARFACE’s latest single. With ‘Say My Name’, it’s safe to say that you’re completely entitled to listen to it and think, “What the fuck is going on”. This huge mix between early Muse hysteria, straight to nuances of Pendulum, well at least what Pendulum would sound like if they had more thought process behind their songs. (IAM)WARFACE have almost definitely been brushing up on every genre out there at the moment to throw it into one, five-minute sonic force. Never before will you have heard a sound as distinguishable as the one in this single.
