SINGLE REVIEW: Never Enough - This Is the End
Never Enough make an explosive entrance with ‘This Is the End’, a debut that wastes no time in proving their post-hardcore credentials. This isn’t just a first single—it’s a statement, packed with urgency, intensity, and an unwavering sense of defiance. Themes of struggle and resilience run deep, the lyrics wrestling with the weight of finality while refusing to back down. There’s an emotional gravity to every word, a breaking point reached but not surrendered to, making the track feel like both a reckoning and a battle cry.
From the very first notes, the instrumentation is colossal. A sweeping, majestic guitar intro surges forward, giving way to driving rhythms that keep everything in relentless motion. The sheer force of the vocals is staggering—towering, bold, and utterly commanding, balancing raw power with introspective depth. There’s confidence in every line, but also vulnerability, as if standing on the edge of collapse and daring the world to push harder. The snarling post-hardcore backing vocals inject a razor-sharp bite, cutting through the cleaner melodies with grit and conviction.
The production is immaculate, but it never polishes away the track’s raw edges. Every chord, every drum hit, every vocal swell feels deliberately placed yet full of organic fire, making the song feel alive rather than overworked. The energy never wavers, yet it isn’t just about heaviness—there’s a dynamic push and pull, an emotional ebb that gives ‘This Is the End’ more weight than just another high-impact rock track.
Never Enough may be new, but they already sound like a band that knows exactly what they’re doing. ‘This Is the End’ is enthralling, resonant, and crafted with the kind of precision that makes every second count. If this is just the beginning, they’ve set the bar ridiculously high.
