“Black History Month
Death from Above 1979 ft. Final Fantasy
Album: Romance Bloody Romance
I must say, I love this band. They finished up NIN’s final tour accompanied by Queens of the Stone Age. They seem to combine musical elements of each of the said bands with a certain uniqueness. Death from Above 1979 involves upbeats, frequent change-ups, punk rock and metal ambitions with a dance vibe. Black History Month possesses all of the characteristics listed above with bizarre vocals sung by a bizarre vocalist. Introduced by string instruments adding a classical element to ‘class up’ the song, the melody evolves into another upbeat intriguing combination of violins and strong percussions.
