Rough day? Throw this one on. “Evil Finds Light” is a healthy way to workout the wreckage of stress and anxiety rather than giving yourself a mental health breakdown, because let’s face it: existence is a bitch, human connection is a joke, and in the content-overload age, it doesn’t take much to get under your skin. Now bonafide hardcore festival headliners, the lead single from the Santa Cruz thrashers’ forthcoming sophomore effort, LIVING PROOF, is how vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro alongside guitarist Cody Chavez and drummer Tim Flegal channel the worst feelings through an outlet where the damage is done in sound. “Every day this world is testing me / Smash open my head and fuckin set me free,” Ciaramitaro begs of this universe. You can either unwind in DRAIN’s created chaos or let this life make you explode.
