Nox Pulso – Frontiers
2 min read
Nox Pulso’s “Frontiers” is an intense trip through a musical environment that combines distorted breakbeat components with heavy, groovy guitars. The music begins with a strong, distorted rhythm that immediately establishes a high-energy mood. As the song progresses, this intensity is further amplified by the addition of heavy guitar riffs, creating a powerful sonic experience. Industrial rock legends like KMFDM and Combichrist are brought to mind by the song “Frontiers” due to its overall musical feel and vocal approach. A powerful, danceable beat is provided by the heavy guitars, while a depth of raw passion and intensity is added by the distorted, unconventional vocals. The track’s dark, almost ominous atmosphere is enhanced by the screams and elements of fear woven into the music, giving it a uniquely haunting quality. The song takes an interesting turn at 1:29 with a guitar line that sounds like it belongs in Ministry and White Zombie. This riff serves as a bridge, bringing the audience into a fresh, dynamically distinct segment of the song. At 2:34, the erratic yet creative musical backdrop gives way to an acoustic section, bringing with it an unexpected change that sounds like US Southern Rock. This acoustic interlude is a brief respite before the heavy guitars return, leading the track back into its signature, beautifully chaotic sound that persists until the end. “Frontiers” makes a strong effect on the listener because of its creative use of opposing components as well as its raw intensity and dark tone.
