Royal Hearts are a post-hardcore band from Florida. Their new single, "These Words Have Weight" is a dynamic yet aggressive track that opens hard and fast, keeping the pressure up until the very end. The guitars and drums are heavy and produced brilliantly, everything clear individually yet everything working together. The vocals are a classic juxtaposition of blood curdling screams and thoughtful melody. Royal Hearts use this interplay well and also incorporate it in their guitar work, contrasting chime-like lead atop chugging power chords.
Royal Hearts keeps the track fresh by always looking ahead and never resting in one spot for too long. The track is quite progressive, constantly surprising the listener. The band had this to say about their new single:
“These Words Have Weight," is the four of us growing as a group and further trying to create an identity that not only connects to our audience but represents each of us individually. We really looked at everything on our EP, Within Reach and realized what worked and what did not work in the song writing and took those notes and ideas and turned them into this new single. Lyrically driven, the song is very honest and open about understanding accountability, in a way that, though I thought I had, I had not before. Musically, we've added more depth in the guitar and bass work as well as focused in on the dual singer approach in a complimentary way between Ryan and drummer Mike.
If you're into post hardcore and you're looking for something new, then definitely check out Royal Hearts. They manage to walk the fine yet necessary line of fitting well within the confines of the genre, while still doing their own thing. Check out the music video below:
