PATIENT SIXTY-SEVEN TEST THE BOUNDARIES OF PERSONAL STRUGGLES WITH THEIR NEW SINGLE “BARRICADE”
What happens when the lyrics are heavier than the music itself? Australian metalcore group Patient Sixty-Seven tests the boundaries of personal struggles with their new track “Barricade.” Not to say that the song itself is soft, far from it. But when the emotional breakdown is stronger than the audio breakdown, that’s when you know a band is genuine and speaks from the heart.
“Barricade” speaks directly to those who battle with their insecurity and depression in a relatable way - with vulnerable lyrics and intense musicianship. A natural progression of their growth, "Barricade” continues to blend catchy hooks and controlled aggression in a way that inspires you to express your emotions in a spiritual way, rather than a physical way. Singing along to the song instead of moshing to it and matching the depth of the lyrics to the strength of the music. You can hear the influences of fellow Aussie bands like The Amity Affliction and Make Them Suffer, sprinkled with some light Architects, resulting in a powerful song.
As Patient Sixty-Seven continues to grow in Australia, “Barricade” can be a track that helps them shatter walls and break through in the United States. There is no shortage of people struggling personally, and a song like “Barricade” will remind those people that they are not alone.
