Washington
state metal band Set4th has released their latest official video for their
flagship single, “Screamin Demons,” to fan and critical acclaim. Set4th is a
heavy metal band in the tradition of Pantera, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, and
other mainstays of the metal genre. With an appropriate release date of October
31st (the American holiday of Halloween), “Screamin Demons” could
not be more timely, nor Set4th’s sound more dark and foreboding.
Set4th, the Frankensteinian monster-creation of Pike
Auchtung, is a heavy metal band in the truest sense of the word. The guitar
work is lightning-fast, though measured, like the mechanical guts of a machine
gun. The percussion is a driving staccato of snares, toms, and crash symbols.
The bass, in lieu of founding brother Sloppy Joe, maintains its Set4th nobility
from the cover of shadows. In short, the looming, booming wall of sound that is
Set4th stands giant and tall in this video release of “Screamin Demons,” and is
evidence that in this latter year 2012, the spirit of metal remains untarnished
by time, and alive – or, rather – very, very much undead.
There is more to Auchtung’s music than mere headbanging
fare, however. As a lyricist, he has spent time infusing his words with meaning
beneath and behind the surface and the symbols.
Of this he writes: “‘Screamin Demons’ is about conquering your fears
before they conquer you. I use metaphors to place listeners into a more
creative realm. I believe the metaphor I use for ‘Screamin Demons’ can help
listeners to feel strong, and powerful enough to defeat their toughest fears.”
At the very least, fans of Set4th must allow
that Auchtung himself is the furthest thing from afraid. He carries every
artistic responsibility for the band, and does so to great effect. His obvious,
resounding triumph may be heard in the electrical charge surging through each
chord, in each smash of the drums, and certainly in the approbation of the
metal scene.
