With "Obvious," a powerful and moving song from their first EP, "From Ashes," Red Skies Dawning boldly enters the world of modern metal. The Maryland-based alt-metal band, led by frontman Chris Aleshire's powerful presence, channels raw openness through a polished, heavy-hitting sound that feels both immersive and deeply human.
"Obvious" creates a movie-like tension that matches the song's chaotic theme. The sweeping atmosphere quickly gives way to thunderous guitars, making a space where melody and intensity meet. The song feels heavy with the weight of losing yourself in the noise of life, only to realize that the way forward has always been there. It's a theme that doesn't come across as abstract poetry, but as something that people have actually experienced.
The band's ability to mix aggression and reflection is what makes "Obvious" so enjoyable. The heavy parts hit with sharp accuracy, but the song never loses its heart or its mood. Aleshire's voice guides the listener through that internal push-and-pull, contributing to the band's signature blend of anthemic hooks and introspective storytelling.
"Obvious" is a statement of purpose from a band that knows what it wants and is going to get it. Red Skies Dawning's music is both cinematic and crushing, capturing the urgency of rediscovery with a clarity that lingers long after the last note fades.
