The fourth single from Gus De Felice's forthcoming concept album, "The Sound of Inevitability," is called "Black Cloud". Gus is a progressive metal artist and composer with a background in music and storytelling, fuses these disciplines to create cinematic metal that resonates with his audience.
""Black Cloud" explores the story of a ruler whose pursuit of ultimate control extends even to nature itself. As his reign grows increasingly oppressive, he constructs an iron sky to enforce his dominance. However, his efforts are met with resistance from an inevitable force of nature, embodied by the Black Cloud. This entity emerges to dismantle his reign and restore balance to the natural order"
The song starts with a slow massive guitar riff and it becomes faster and intricate - I love how the song alternates these moments (check out the break at 1.23). The sound is huge and the song is quality from every point of view, songwriting, performance, and production. A very cool instrumental track, heavy, dark, and prog, with a super technical solo around minute 3. Give it a go by clicking on the Spotify player below and remember to follow Gus De Felice on social media, if you like what you hear.
