Honestly, there’s nothing eye catching or unique about the name of this band or the name of the song. Honestly, I think I’ve seen about a dozen different bands over my lifetime that all had the name Druid or something like that. I promise this is nothing again Druid, the band that created “Chokehold”, it’s just an observation that, at face value, there’s nothing that would really draw me to this song. With that in mind, I would have been a fool to just skip over this track and you would be too so please stop everything and check out “Chokehold” right now!
“Chokehold” kicks off with an electronic beat but, within just seconds, this Melbourne-based metalcore band hits you with their intense and fiery blend of harsh vocals and an almost 90s nu-metal vibe. This song is all over the place but that makes sense as this is a huge band with six members. It’s clear that every member of this group is bringing something different to the table and the way that Druid, as a whole, puts it all together to create the magic that happens during “Chokehold” is absolutely jaw-dropping. This song is chaotic but not spastic. It’s full of energy, power, and aggression yet it doesn’t come off as just “angry music”. There’s a message behind this track and, between that and the one-two punch that comes with this song overall, you will be left with your head spinning and a spot in your heart for this amazing band.
