Just Listen: The Amazons – Heart of Darkness
The Amazons
Heart of Darkness
Words by Gary Lambert
Released as part of The Amazons’ Expanded Edition of Future Dust, Heart of Darkness is the sound of a rock band preparing for the days when arenas and stadiums welcome them with open arms.
When you listen to Heart of Darkness, you might want to do so with industrial safety wear on because it is so powerful that the music almost appears visual. As the stinging, dramatic guitar plays through the track, it is as though the air is lit with sparks from a buzzsaw, the rhythm of the track presents itself like flames in the night, and above all this beautiful chaos runs Matt’s vocal.
Basically Heart of Darkness sounds like The Amazons headlining a festival in three and a bit minutes. At least if you listen to it now, you’ll be ready for summer.
