A trio of unmatched talent and unwavering passion shrouded in mystifying rock veil, Dedlights is the band you have been waiting for to deliver you from the depths of shallow, uninspiring, and unauthentic rock music that has lately permeated the airwaves. The band’s overarching ambition has always been to bring people together with their music by capturing the essence of lived experiences with raw honesty and passion-filled delivery. Through their signature hard rock identity, Dedlights try to incorporate a nice median of heavy riffage with catchy choruses and melodious solo-driven rhythms, balancing the tension and edge of hard rock with the heartfelt surrender of emotionally resonant lyrics. To them, rock music isn’t just noise; it’s a way to express themselves, and if their music can help someone get through the day at least once, they have done their job.
“Storm” is a highly evocative jam that was inspired by the kind of psychological trauma childhood abuse brings with it, more often than not extending into a person’s adult life, and the substantial impact it has.
The intro is laden with this hauntingly beautiful and memorable blend of rhythm and melody, as Dedlights immediately give the song a nice, referenceable bearing that sets the song apart. As the band has come to make a reputation for themselves, they have a way of making a listener feel comfortable at the onset of their music, leading them nicely and making them feel right at home.
This is of course before culminating into the metal death grunts, albeit for at least 3 seconds like the case in our track, backed by the stadium-packed riffs and vicious drums that soar high, reaching a fever pitch and giving the music a dynamic feel.
It is always amazing to get drenched in the band’s emotion-laden performance that balances clean, melodious singing with gritty low-end death growls complemented by the brutally packed instrumentals.
The accompanying official lyric video gets a listener drawn into the song’s thematic essence as they feel engaged as much as captivated by their floating presence, elevating the song’s appeal to new heights.
Another epic addition to Dedlights’ astounding catalog, “Storm” establishes them as a reputable force in the realm of rock.
