Black Cloud is Gus Defelice’s latest single from his upcoming concept album, The Sound of Inevitability. It’s an instrumental track perfect for lovers of art.
The intro of the track has a cinematic feel because of the ambient sound. The ambient sound, even though it lasts just for seconds, adds depth to the track. The chord progression of the whole track is just chef’s kiss. It has metal and progressive roots.
The track will keep you on the edge of your seat because of the crunchy guitar tone and the syncopated drum patterns. The orchestration on the track is on God’s level due to how it’s mixed properly.
The thing about listening to heavy metal is that sometimes, without proper instrumentation and arrangement, it can become tiring and often just sounds like noise. But for Black Cloud, it’s different. Every section of the song offers something unique that will make you listen again and again. The track carries emotions that differ from person to person that’s why I feel it’s a perfect movie soundtrack.
Overall, Black Cloud is a track that will leave you wanting more. From the coming-of-age feel of the intro to the syncopated guitar chug at the end, it’s an experience worth having.
