Re:O share single ‘Violet’
Violets is the 8th single released by Re:O. Violets explores the depths of grief by combining Re:O’s signature blend of metal riffs with sombre and harrowing melodies that captivate grief and pain with mesmerizing vocals, haunting piano melodies and synthonic instrumentation. This will immediately draw in any fan of Alternative Metal, Industrial Metal, Metalcore, Goth, J-Pop, Dark Pop, Nu-Metal, Post Hardcore and Rock.
Violets describes the death of someone extremely close and important to you and how the grief has overwhelmed you with the loss of the one person who supported you, was there for you and who you loved dearly. The story continues by plunging into denial and how you refuse to accept this has happened and questioning how you can continue onwards. Everything you knew has now been lost and now you must stumble and find your way in this new and hostile emotional landscape. This emotional journey is captivated by using the imagery of the flower Violets, utilising these as a metaphor for loss, fear and growth. The music tells this story by utilising beautiful and powerful vocal melodies contrasted by unsettling symphonic instrumentation, haunting piano melodies and intense guitar riffs to emulate the anger and denial portrayed by the lyrics. All of this contributes to Violets being the perfect tribute to the loss of that one loved and dearly missed person.
