Swiss modern metal heavyweights Ophelia's Eye have unleashed a tantalising three-track EP called, Fight For Us, as an appetiser for their much anticipated LP. The Swiss quintet has decided to release three songs that are close to their hearts, telling a short story about what they have to offer the world.
The five-piece formed in the 2010s under various pseudonyms, including Project Penny and Red Fire Dragon, before settling on the exotically named Ophelia's Eye, based on a character in the E.L.A Hoffman novel The Sandman. Fight For Us combines harsh vocals and ripping guitar play, and its lyrics are written as escapism through music from the struggles of everyday life.
The title track " Fight For Us" begins with an all-out musical assault on the ears with raging guitar leads, earth-shattering blast beats, and deathly growls that sound like an act on a mission.
Next up is "Speak of Words of Destruction" which is a modern metal track about improving one's communication through more harmonious needs. Lead Vocalist Michel Egloff-Sieber growls once again, as they feel more angst-ridden, rather than angry. The double harmonies of guitarists Corinne Ryter and Remo Leap add depth and emotions to the song's subject
Finally, " Ophelia's Eye" wraps up a short outing with a beautiful acoustic intro that segues into intense chugging, rumbling basslines, and infectious melodies to supplement the harsh vocals.
Overall, Ophelia's Eye takes us through a perilous journey of self-discovery and reflection. The band create enthralling songs with an engaging topic we can all relate to. The band bring big riffs, intense vocals, and an ability to write songs we can all headbang to.
