Following their 2021 album, ‘As Blue As Indigo‘, Tigercub return with a heavy and over-the-top new single, ‘The Perfume of Decay‘
Tigercub’s second album, ‘As Blue As Indigo’, climbed to an impressive #11 on the Official UK Album Charts. But, as impressive as this is, it meant they had a lot to live up to with this new single.
Luckily, ‘The Perfume of Decay’ is everything you could wish for from a Tigercub track. It’s much heavier than their previous material and filled with distorted guitars, huge riffs and all the over-the-top intensity you could ask for. Jamie Hall’s vocals soar as powerfully as the guitars and his performance is filled with as much drama and urgency as an early Muse track.
But the highlight of the track is undoubtedly the central riff. First appearing at the opening of the track and then scattered throughout, it is absolutely huge and builds the sinister atmosphere of the track perfectly. It consists of a heavily distorted descending guitar line that sounds extremely deranged, over the top of chugging bass and drums. It immediately sticks in your head, sounding both out of control and perfectly fitting.
The band keep up the intensity all the way through the track and thankfully follow through with the expectation that the first few dramatic seconds promise. If Tigercub’s new music can sound as intense as this, we are in for a treat.Â
