Have you ever listened to a song that is curated with such passion that it just overflows with emotion and creativity? It’s quite endearing and the passion somehow gets to you through the harmonies.
“Queen of Decay” quite literally feels and sounds like a mixture of everything Cindered Heart is known for. A resounding rhythm, catchy synth, and vocals that—let me exaggerate—makes your soul leave your body.
It’s uniquely theirs as it’s based on a story, a narrative. They have a concrete message in mind that they want to convey and it works perfectly. Lyrics such as “Eyes of emerald, piercing the veil / Your soul quivers—this is my tale” and “Bow to the queen of dusk and decay / Life fades as the shadows obey”, are dark yet intriguing; just to cite a few lines since the entire song is just made up of clever rhymes to be completely honest.
The way everything is arranged is great as well, as it sort of divides the song into parts which comes off as pleasant surprises to listeners. Well balanced, great narrative, and a unique way to express emotion. Artists like Cindered Heart are hard to find, as it’s evident that they put their hearts and souls in their songs.
