Dead Harrison‘s None for All is proof of the band’s ability to transform darkness into a symphony of doom and hope. None for All marks a significant evolution in their sound, a gothic odyssey through the realms of metal, psychedelic rock, and punk, echoing influences from Type O Negative to Siouxsie and the Banshees. With band members Drae the Undead, Shawn the Dead, Jason Skulls, and Thraxx bringing their unique influences to the table, the result is an album that feels cohesive yet rich in variety.
None for All is a reflection of the resilience of the human spirit and is a creative response to their previous EP, All for None, which explored artistic futility. However None for All takes that perceived emptiness and transforms it into a source of artistic power and inspiration. It’s an auditory journey that invites one to find their own interpretations within the dense layers of fuzz-filled doom and ethereal melodies.
Stand out tracks and personal favourites, “Terror Grinder” and “Beach Zombies” showcase the band’s knack for weaving intricate stories through their music. “Terror Grinder” looks at the dystopian threat of AI, through a sci-fi narrative where humanity’s creativity is under siege. In contrast, “Beach Zombies” offers a tongue-in-cheek summer anthem where the undead are the ones having the most fun. These songs exemplify the band’s ability to blend heavy themes with a sense of playfulness and irony.
The band’s philosophy of being a positive influence in a world filled with negativity shines through in their music, a fusion of apocalyptic doom and uplifting resilience. With each song on None for All is a story in itself, inviting one to interpret and make it their own. This approach not only engages the audience but also reinforces the band’s message of hope and perseverance.
While None for All is a journey through the complexities of the human condition. Dead Harrison has crafted an album that is as thought-provoking as it is musically satisfying. For fans of gothic and doom metal, this album is a must-listen. Forged in darkness and in light None for All is a journey from emptiness to empowerment and proves that Dead Harrison has a spirit that refuses to be extinguished.
