In a world where mainstream pop is the go-to move, Brian Hunsaker’s single, “Power Over You,” decided to give us a taste of what real hard rock is.
“Power Over You” started with a cinematic feel like walking in a deserted area imagery because of the guitar progression alongside the melodical phrasing. Brian’s voice works hand in hand with the heaviness of the track. You can hear the Dio influence in it.
As a musician myself, I specifically like the bass guitar and guitar tone throughout the track. For the bass, there is a case to be made that some producers would say that “it’s not cutting through the mix,” but for me, the tone is what the song needs. Sure, you might want to add a bit more bass to it, but there are certain areas where the higher parts being played on the bass are working it’s magic.
For the guitars, some would say that they lack that high and mid, but for me, the tone itself is what made Brian Hunsaker different from the rest of the music today. It’s his Identity, and for me, it’s what makes him, him.
Brian Hunsaker’s “Power Over You” is a breath of fresh air. In today’s musical landscape, a lot of listeners would surely appreciate the track’s sheer heaviness and uniqueness.
