SINGLE REVIEW: Heathcliff - Circles
Heathcliff’s 'Circles' hits like a tidal wave, charging out of Munich with all the relentless energy of a classic skate punk anthem. The track is fast, furious, and impossible to ignore, channeling that raw, unfiltered spirit that has kept the genre alive and kicking. From the first blast of howling guitars to the pummeling drums, it’s clear that this Munich quartet has crafted a sound that’s both fiery and addictive.
The track is an absolute adrenaline rush, with technical yet melodic elements woven seamlessly together. The drums thunder, providing a solid backbone to the driving rhythm that propels the song forward at a blistering pace. Meanwhile, the guitars rip through the air with an electrifying energy, howling and buzzing as they carve their way through the chaos. It’s skatepunk to its core—high-octane, unrelenting, and just plain fun.
Vocally, 'Circles' stands out with powerful, rhythmic delivery that matches the intensity of the music, while stellar vocal harmonies add another layer of dynamism to the mix. The result is a song that feels both anthemic and deeply rooted in authenticity. It’s catchy without losing any of its edge—hooky enough to pull you in but never softening the punch. This is a track meant for the pit, a mosh-worthy anthem that’s guaranteed to get the crowd roaring.
There’s something undeniably effervescent about 'Circles.' It’s a celebration of punk’s rawness, its technicality, and its ability to unite fans under a banner of shared energy and emotion. Heathcliff’s signature homemade skatecore comes through loud and clear, combining 90s skatepunk influences with elements of metal and hardcore, creating a sonic landscape that’s both powerful and inventive. It’s a song that reminds you why skate punk still rules: fast, frenetic, and full of life.
