A thunderous return from progressive metalcore outfit QUEEN KONA. LONG LIVE is as monumental as its title suggests, combining loud, relentless aggression with intricate guitar work and groovy basslines to create a powerful wall of sound. What sets QUEEN KONA apart is that each member of the band is a vocalist, allowing them to explore a wide range of sound that ranges from ferocious growls to clean, melodic vocals. This adds plenty of sonic light and shade, enhanced further by the electronic production mixed in with their instrumentation. Great to see such a refreshing and unique addition to the modern metalcore scene. LT
