“This Is What It Feels Like” by Cries Of Redemption is an explosive, emotionally charged rock anthem that’s difficult to describe without resorting to superlatives. If anything, it once again proves just how powerful goth rock and metal can be at their very best.
The guitars are distorted yet refined, delivering weight without sacrificing clarity. The drums are dynamic and hard-hitting, driving the track forward with relentless momentum. And the vocals? Absolutely stunning — commanding, intense, and filled with conviction. When the chorus hits, it truly hits — soaring and powerful.
Musically, the band strikes an impressive balance between post-hardcore grit and melodic rock accessibility, blending aggression with hooks that linger long after the song ends. Lyrically, “This Is What It Feels Like” explores the raw edges of personal struggle — what it means to endure, to fracture, and ultimately to rebuild. Rather than offering easy answers or clichés, the song leans into emotional honesty, and that authenticity is something to be applauded.
“This Is What It Feels Like” stands as a compelling and confident release. For metal fans, it’s more than just a solid track — it’s a must-listen, and one that comes highly recommended.
