DEAR SHERLOCK’S NEW SINGLE “APOPHIS” IS HARD ROCK MADNESS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

Dear Sherlock has just unleashed one of the tastiest rock songs of 2026. Their new single, “Apophis,” is four minutes of mind-bending hard rock and progressive metal that never lets its foot off the gas. Pulverizing guitars and ghost note-filled drum grooves kick things off before giving way to a massive, hook-laden chorus that's impossible to shake.

Soaring vocals and hypnotic guitar melodies pull listeners deeper into the song before Dear Sherlock flips the switch back to full-on Terminator mode, unleashing crushing riffs and a rhythm section locked into one setting: destroy. Every twist and turn feels deliberate, balancing technical precision with arena-sized melodies that never sacrifice heaviness.

Fans of Muse, Mastodon, and the darker thrash of Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss era are going to devour this track. Few bands are able to blend such diverse influences into something that feels this fresh and cohesive, but Dear Sherlock makes it sound effortless. Apophis may be the Egyptian god of chaos, but “Apophis” itself is the kind of rock anthem that feels heaven-sent.
