Drenalin, an Emmy-award-winning ensemble from Cleveland, OH, established in 2005, were out to wreak maximum emotional havoc with their latest single, This is My Night.
The track ensues with fitting-for-Broadway vocal intensity, intertwined with fantastical orchestral elements and playful, carnivalesque twists that would resonate with any Nekrogoblikon fans. As the track progresses, Drenalin evokes the early 2000s metal scene, reminiscent of Drowning Pool, Soil, and Fear Factory, but the transmutations in sound don’t end there.
The song’s structure is meticulously crafted, with each melodic transition pushing the boundaries of emotional catharsis. The interplay of hard-hitting fury and rock opera flair is nothing short of prodigious; the volition is teased through tensile with innovative vision progressions to ensure anyone who bears witness to the anthem of hedonic liberation will feel its maximum force.
It is so rare to say that you’ve encountered an outfit with a sound no one would ever conceive without replication, but clearly, Drenalin is a diamond in the rough of mediocrity.
