Song Review: 8Snake- The Unreliable

 


British Gothic Rock act 8 Snake returns with their latest single 'The Unreliable' via 8Music Group.
This track continues the theme of mental health and isolation touched upon in 'Another End'. This time the track focuses on a man consumed by a human's never-ending quest for money and success. This obsession ultimately leads the man to surrender to his alcoholism and drug addiction.

'The Unreliable' was mixed and mastered by Doug Wheeler. The track starts with a similar post-gothic sound of  'Another End'. The dark, eerie riffs resonate with uneasiness for the listener before vocalist Francesco Fonte croons over the verses. Fonte's voice is stern and jagged like the late Pete Steele of Type 'O' Negative. The chorus releases the tension with powerful melodies that reflect the character's need to escape and restart his life. 



Overall, 8Snake continues to build up anticipation for their new album with an interesting concept behind mental health and the real-life struggle people felt during the Covid lockdowns.
