Violet Dawn's "Diogenes" is not here to play it safe, and thank goodness for that! Gaining popularity among runners-up in 2019 with their standout single, "MIGHT," these musicians are breaking away from the usual expectations of today's music scene.
Their track "Diogenes," which runs a bit longer than five minutes, feels like a powerful and intense experience, almost as if you're listening to a deep and smoky sermon. The music features heavy guitar riffs that sound gritty, paired with vocals that convey a mix of defiance and passion. Each beat feels slow and heavy, pulling you down deeper into its atmosphere. Violet Dawn doesn't just tap into the rebellious spirit of the '90s, they wholeheartedly embrace it. The title of the song pays homage to the famously cynical Greek philosopher Diogenes, reflecting a message that pushes back against excess, falsehoods, and even the current music industry. While the lyrics may be a bit cryptic, the overall feel of the song conveys a clear message, it's for those who question everything and prefer to forge their path.
"Diogenes" blends the rough energy of Nirvana with the deep sound of Kyuss. It's gritty, powerful, and gratifying to listen to. The production enhances the music, allowing every electrifying guitar riff and thundering drumbeat to resonate with intention.
