Nicholas Dante - Inferno

Inferno - Nicholas Dante (Pop) Nicholas Dante heats things up with the dark and menacing “Inferno”, the title track from his 13 song LP. The record is a slick, tension laden production beginning with foley effects before ramping up into a plucky synth mandolin. Nicholas’ laser focused tenor enters, sweetened with some intentional tuning, and slices straight through the tribal beat before dipping into a demonic chant with vocal processing straight out of the Exorcist. In some ways the track feels like it could be from Lady Gaga’s “Fame Monster” era, as the record evoked of a mixture of “Born This Way”, “Judas” and “Scheiße”. We think this one needs a full on dance number and a slew of remixes.

Best Lyric: “This is something you risk your life on.”
