Jacob’s Fall – Escape the Gravity (Full Band Version) (2022)
Jacob’s Fall is bringing a completely new feeling to their older single ‘Escape the Gravity’. With this full band version, they are taking the single to new levels with a couple of tweaks and an upgrade in the bursting energy brought by the band. Originally from their album The War We Miss?, this new version far surpasses the original, while showcasing the band’s blend of port-metal, alternative rock and goth rock tones.
Infused with the originality of the band, the single stands out from the crowd and really lets you know that you are listening to something special. While the band hails from Germany, they really break the mould with their sound and will have you hooked to their unique flows. If this is the first time you are hearing their sound, the full band energy of the track will have you diving into their back catalogue.
‘Escape the Gravity (Full Band Version)’ slowly calls out to you with a rather ominous gothic vibe. The stark instrumentation leaks out of the darkness to twirl around you like mist and lead you into the heavier touch of the guitars. There is a layering in the melody that allows the gothic flairs to ride over the tension of the rock guitars. The drums get your feet tapping to the rhythm and your spirit moving down the melody. The guitars rise with an amazing power that sweeps through your chest and takes you to amazing new heights. The strings bring a decadent dark orchestral vibe that adds to the gothic touches of the single. Later in the track, the melody dips for a delicate piano line that leaves chilled shivers in its wake. The almost marching band drumline picks up from this and leads you back into the epic rock movement.
As you are irresistibly caught in the movement of the melody, the vocals are like a ribbon of light weaving its way into the dark recesses of the horizon. There is a really interesting interplay between the guitars and the vocals at the start of the track as they seem to echo each other. When the music rises for the chorus, the vocals encompass your spirit and draw it to another dimension of sound. It is a truly stunning vocal performance that gives the lyrics weight, while soothing something dark that rests on your heart. Through the performance, you can feel the chains that tie us down only for them to be broken and freedom to flood your senses.
Jacob’s Fall sweeps through your soul with their exquisite blend of post-metal and gothic rock as they soothe the dark edges of your spirit in ‘Escape the Gravity (Full Band Version)’. The layering of the melody and the movement of the vocals takes this track to a different level. The gothic flairs meet the weaving of the vocals and both sink into your soul where they will never truly shift.
