REVIEW – PRISONER’s “House of Cards – Single” delivers an intense and dynamic experience, showcasing the band’s raw energy and precision. The single features three tracks that collectively represent the power of modern metal.
The opener, “Skies are Blackened”, offers a barrage of pounding drums, powerful bass, and searing riffs. The track immediately establishes a heavy tone with Murray Emery’s aggressive vocal delivery. “On a Sunday” takes a more melodic turn, blending memorable hooks with deep emotional resonance. The sway of the rhythm and strong vocal melodies offer a more reflective tone, balancing aggression with moments of introspection. It’s a track that encourages the listener to immerse themselves in the layers of sound. The title track, “House of Cards (The Game Pt. 2)”, serves as the climax of the single. Featuring relentless drums and fiery guitar work, it leaves no doubt about the band’s technical prowess. The song captures the essence of the band’s sound—heavy, unyielding, and full of metal energy, bringing the single to a triumphant close.
PRISONER’s House of Cards – Single demonstrates their range, from aggressive metal fury to emotionally-driven melodies. Murray Emery on vocals and guitar, alongside Jeremy Hartmann (guitar), Trevor MacDonald (bass), Wes Bartram (drums), and Karl Pflug (drums), ensure the band’s sound is as tight as ever. It’s a must-listen for fans of modern metal looking for a well-crafted and engaging release.
