NEWS: STRYKENINE Mix Music Synth Style of Stranger Things With Chugging Guitars On New single “Always On My Mind”
The answer is Strykenine’s latest single, “Always on My Mind.”
The track is an energetic and emotional powerhouse, starting off as a tender love ballad before ramping up into a chorus you won’t be able to resist singing along to. When the song culminates in a heavy, riff-driven section, watch out – it’s nearly impossible not to get swept up and start headbanging.
Kicking of with that nostalgic sci-fi 80s synth reminiscent of Blade Runner, clean hair metal power vocals and thunderous guitars, bass and drums this is a headbanging gem of a song. The guitar solo just sweeps you round and round. A cracking song that is catchy and full of a driving rhythm. Loved it. – Happy Metal Geek
