We begin with some scene-setting minor chords, then a colossal rain of snare hits yank us out of safety and fling us headfirst into a glorious wall of sound, with the vocals somehow managing to cut through the marvellous sonic tidal wave with ease. Tired Of Fighting’s Out Of The Forest is a glorious thrill to experience with headphones on.
However, this isn’t just sonic smoke and mirrors, the song itself is a wonder to behold and one which tackles heavy subjects with a deft and tasteful touch. It would be every bit as poignant and engaging in a bare-bones arrangement, but the storm the production whips up is a brilliant fit for such a colossus of a song. Essential.
