Get ready for an electrifying experience as The Protomen ignite the stage with their new single, 'This City Made Us'! But this isn't just any metal band; they're a force that challenges the very essence of the genre.
Heavy metal, a genre synonymous with rebellion, often portrays artists as warriors against oppression. But The Protomen bring a unique twist to this familiar theme. Their latest track, premiering exclusively, is a call to arms, urging listeners to question authority and create positive change. But here's where it gets controversial—are they truly metal?
'This City Made Us' is more than just a song; it's a battle cry. With its galloping riffs and powerful vocals, this single from the upcoming album Act III: This City Made Us, is a refined version of their 2015 release, packing an even stronger punch. Imagine a musical fusion of Queen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Bruce Springsteen, with a love for retro video games—that's The Protomen!
This band is a rock opera sensation, retelling the Mega Man series with a dark twist. While they may not fit the traditional metal mold, their songs resonate with themes of rebellion and hope. In their own words, they're here to rock, even if some consider them 'not metal.'
The Protomen's signature style, with dueling guitars and thunderous rhythms, creates an immersive rock opera experience. It's anthemic yet grounded, a perfect blend of drama and accessibility. And the best part? You can join the journey by pre-ordering the album and following their weekly track releases.
So, do you think The Protomen have earned their metal credentials? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's discuss the boundaries of this diverse genre!
