“Edge of the World” showcases Brian at the top of his game with massive, epic, and emotionally charged style.

The first few moments of this track hit you with massive melodic metal riffs that you can almost feel the ground shaking from the energy created by the sound. The single was mixed by Matt Dougherty, who has created a densely-layered, muscular, cinematic style of production that leaves each part of “Edge of the World” space to breathe, while retaining an incredible amount of low-end muscle and bone-crushing presence.

What takes the track to an even higher level is the juxtaposition between its power with driving rhythm and thunderous drums and its vulnerability with layered guitars representing perpetual motion. Hunsaker’s vocalisation is the glue that holds the whole thing together through his effortless style and efforts, all while portraying the story being told in the song: An obsession with and a will to survive and hold onto hope against all odds.

Musically and lyrically, “Edge of the World” has an otherworldly feel, with a protagonist traversing treacherous, surreal terrain in the pursuit of a love that refuses to die. It isn’t just heavy; it is purposeful.
