Neon Black Dreams – Quest
Quest, by Neon Black Dreams, is a mix of classic hard rock and ethereal pop elements, creating a dynamic contrast that keeps the listener engaged. The song begins with synchronised guitars and synths, establishing an excellent basis before a second guitar fades in, bringing in a groove-driven orchestration characteristic of Pantera and AC/DC. The track’s raw, riff-heavy sound is further enhanced by the unexpected nevertheless attractive presence of female voices, which add a soft, almost pop-like level of quality. The song has a significant 1980s influence, particularly in the synth-driven arrangement, which matches the mid-80s AOR sound. The song’s greatest moment occurs at 2:25, when a technical guitar solo capitalizes on Eddie Van Halen’s soul, bringing artistic excellence into the mix. While the arrangement may seem unusual at first, it eventually attracts with its unique combination of hard rock strength and dramatic synth scenes.
