Knocked Loose feat. Poppy – “Suffocate”

The universe of Knocked Loose is expanding rapidly at this stage. To what extent? It’s enormity feels boundless and like we’re on the verge of cosmic collapse with “Suffocate”, the latest single from the Louisville hardcore sluggers’ forthcoming album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To. There’s no rest for the wicked here, as the whole crew does their part in doubling — tripling? quadrupling? — down on their heavy alter onslaught with brutalist designs of blast beats and axe grinds wielding more weight in swinging for the knockout hook. Bryan Garris brings in an assist from metal-pop crossover songwriter Poppy to delve deeper into the band’s dynamo, amounting to a superhuman effort in delivering a crushing blow against backstabbers with ultimate finality. “I will dig until I find the fucking root / I suffered because of you”. Not even the god particle itself can stop them.
