With the use of traditional classical instrumentation, such as violins, paired with hard rock, <strong>Hana Piranha<\/strong> creates an interesting sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>\u2018Silk and Poison\u2019<\/em> starts the album as it means to go on as violins merge into classic rock riffs and spitting vocals. The verses crescendo into an explosive chorus, with a powerful performance from Hana. Stripped back verses feeding into a heavy chorus is a trope that is used throughout the album. Likewise, <em>\u2018Naked Flame\u2019<\/em> consists of simple instrumental parts in the verses, followed by heavier instrumentation in the chorus. This effect is great, but only when used in moderation. By the middle of <em>\u2018Waiting To Burn\u2019<\/em>, it\u2019s almost expected to hear muted guitars in the verses followed by a heavy chorus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Hana Piranha<\/strong> have taken inspiration from a number of different genres. <em>&#8216;Amateur&#8217;<\/em> carries itself with a pop punk vibe<em>,<\/em> using simple but punchy guitar riffs and drum beats. While &#8216;<em>Paper Doll&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>hints at a grungy sound, with a 90s inspired guitar riff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"HANA PIRANHA | Naked Flame (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPKabQoFohU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> The use of violin on this album gives some songs a symphonic feel, but it isn\u2019t executed in the best way. Tracks such as<em> \u2018Murderess\u2019<\/em> have violin solos, and though this sounds cool and different, it is an element of the band that could be explored more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The themes explored on<em> \u2018Waiting To Burn\u2019<\/em> are mundane and lack any depth with nothing really threading it together. It&#8217;s not benefitted by predictable song structures that are also used to death, such as the stripped back verses followed by heavy choruses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Overall, the album has a lot of promise, especially with the combination of violins of heavy rock riffs, although not entirely inventively executed. It would be much more interesting for <strong>Hana Piranha<\/strong> to develop their own songwriting conventions, rather than relying on common ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Waiting To Burn&#8217;<\/em> by <strong>Hana Piranha<\/strong>\u00a0is released on 22nd March on\u00a0<strong>Fourglove<\/strong> <strong>Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hana Piranha\u00a0<\/strong>links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanapiranha.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hanapiranhaband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hanapiranha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hana_piranha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Evelyn Manktelow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;&#8216;Waiting To Burn&#8217; has a lot of promise, although not entirely inventively executed&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":77225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[5879,16439,16726,16725,16727],"class_list":["post-77224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-album-reviews","tag-album-reviews","tag-evelyn-manktelow","tag-fourglove-records","tag-hana-piranha","tag-waiting-to-burn"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
