Song of the Week: “New Low” by Overbearing

"New Low" gets right into the action, with a melodic yet hard-hitting lead guitar line that continues into the first verse of the track. The song continues this blistering pace, with a heavy bass line echoing over a frantic guitar riff and chaotic drums. It's produced in a way to give each instrument its own space while still feeling massive and whole. There's also a time change, but the band doesn’t miss a beat, the change serving as the emotional climax of the track. “New Low” is a great first taste of Overbearing’s sound, and the track is sure to captivate new fans into checking out the band’s next material.
