The song begins with distorted, hard-hitting beats that\u00a0catch the listener&#8217;s attention, putting them in a cool\u00a0industrial environment. Omar&#8217;s vocal style, influenced by Gary Numan, adds a melancholic\u00a0depth to the song, presenting almost apocalyptic scenarios with each phrase. The synth work is one of the track&#8217;s advantages, with interesting FM synth-driven patterns that pulse beneath the surface. The softness of the synthesizers contrasts strongly with the fast, cymbal-heavy percussion, which has an almost organic character\u00a0like a\u00a0live recording. The mix between electronic sounds and a more physical, percussive sound offers &#8220;Casualty&#8221; a unique edge, combining groovy\u00a0energy with a sophisticated\u00a0atmosphere. Omar&#8217;s cinematic vocal style acts as the bridge, connecting the track&#8217;s thematic conflict between adaptation and casualty in the modern world. As a consequence, the music is both inspiring and musically interesting, taking listeners on a philosophical\u00a0trip while keeping them moving to the beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Straight Razor - Casualty\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7D2jzxVKFJQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/omardoom.straightrazor\">http:\/\/facebook.com\/omardoom.straightrazor<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doomvisionrecords.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/doomvisionrecords.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/omardoom\">http:\/\/instagram.com\/omardoom<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Straight Razor (Omar Doom)&#8217;s &#8220;Casualty&#8221; is a dynamic mix of EBM beats, dramatic vocals, and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[3244,279],"class_list":["post-25413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-ebm","tag-industrial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25415,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25413\/revisions\/25415"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
