MikroBrute Crafts a Haunting Melodic Metal Experience with Kneel
Kneel is the powerful new single from an Irish musician and multi-instrumentalist who performs under the moniker MikroBrute. Assembling additional artists through Fiverr and taking advantage of the wonders of AI for vocals, MikroBrute's latest offering is a genius piece of cinematic melodic metal.
Recorded on the artist's PC (not that you'd ever know - the production is impeccably crisp and rich), Kneel is a track the musician says has been "knocking around in some form or another for more than a year."
Showcasing his guitar-playing prowess and general knack for crafting a haunting and immersive soundscape, MikroBrute has constructed Kneel with meticulous attention to detail. The layers of dark instrumentation, the balancing of fury and finesse, the tension that pulls you in…it's all there.
Delving into the meaning behind his new tune, MikroBrute mentions that it's about "seeing family members deal with illness and life-changing conditions and then seeing them develop belief in themselves to get through it."
I'm hoping that Kneel will serve as a powerful prelude to an ambitious body of work that the artist clearly has in their locker. It's a smashing track from start to finish, and deserves your full attention.
