Saskatoon's Despite The Reverence Release Melodic Single “Killing Plebs” Off “Stress Of Evolution” Out April 2023

Impressively, Canada’s Despite The Reverence has been together writing and performing for over 10 years now with the same lineup and as of this year, has produced five full-length albums. The most recent addition to their catalog is “Stress Of Evolution”, a twelve-track, neck-breaking monster of an album due out this April 2023 and builds on all of their previous work. The latest high-impact single coming for listeners is “Killing Plebs” with a music video below. The band shares the details:

“This is a more commercial-sounding hard rock song that starts with a guitar fade into the main riff. The drums, bass, and rhythm pound together throughout while the melodic lyrics belt out catchy lyrics and a memorable tune that gets stuck in your head. The middle section starts to get heavy and then cuts out to a breakdown with a pulsing rhythm and subtle guitar reminiscent of Faith No More.”

The lyrics are spoken with an echo that makes it very unique and captivating, with content regarding the death of the common man and of his character which has been sacrificed to appease a lazy and entitled culture. The song kicks back in with an epic ballad-style guitar solo and then a powerful vocal chorus that matches it perfectly. It’s an excellent look at the new direction that Despite The Reverence is moving in, something bigger and more professional than ever before.

The band primarily incorporates a lot of groove metal and thrash metal into their sound, but also draws from many other types making their sound multi-dimensional. They are recommended for fans of Nothing More, Tool, and Muse.
