Kilravock is the solo project of Steven Wayne Smith from Omaha, NE and his latest two track release features the original track “Incompatibility” and a cover of John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero”. This release is a teaser for his forthcoming album, “Just Another Wonderful Day”.
The first track “Incompatibility” is a good example of Steven’s skills to play different instruments and his incredible vocal abilities. The song is full of energy, it has powerful guitars and drums and features deep and screaming vocals. The hook is incredibly memorable and catchy which is a great way to grab the listener’s attention. The song has a very heavy feel creating an unforgettable listening experience.
“Working Class Hero” by Kilravock is a good reinterpretation of the iconic John Lennon classic. Beginning with a haunting acoustic guitar and harmonized vocals, Steven stays true to the song’s poignant roots while introducing his distinct production style. This makes the version sound familiar but at the same time fresh and different, which is perfect for those who want to hear a new take on a classic song.
I appreciated the passion and effort put into these songs. Kilravock’s music is dark and different and I believe his upcoming work will continue to impress. These tracks are perfect for those who like to listen to emotional and raw music with a hint of creativity.
