Deadlands - "Villain"

 

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but Long Island trio Deadlands’ new single is a fiery reversal of that maxim.

 

Scream-heavy vocalist Kasey Karlsen (who you might have seen in one of her viral videos or on tour with shredder Nita Strauss) begins the song berating the “transgressions” of the titular cold-hearted, snake-like villain, but ultimately flips the script by turning up the temperature with a retaliatory attack (“I’ll slice and dice until you say quit”),

The rest of the band complements their singer’s fury with a mix of panic-djented breakdowns and detuned, yet pop-world-broaching, chorus melodies.
