Single Review: This Tension

Deemed as New Zealand’s 4th best industrial/groove-metal duo, Auckland’s Lakius kept busy during our lockdown periods creating and had recently released another single titled, This Tension.

With a stunning video to accompany it, This Tension is an assault of noise that leaves all your senses on alert. Its driving, grinding riffs followed by relentless double kicks and vocalist/guitarist’s Tony Charles perfect vocal style that consists of melody and guttural emphasis fits like a glove.

Clocking in at just over three minutes, This Tension sums up our vulnerability in a time of uncertainty and chaos of the world and in our own backyard.

And when it’s safe for live music to resume once again, you best believe this single will melt faces.

I can’t wait.
