Biffy Clyro - That Golden RuleBiffy Clyro – That Golden Rule

Biffy Clyro have been hard at work for some time now working on their as yet untitled new album that is due for release in October and have just released details on their new single ‘That Golden Rule’ which is due for release on the 24th August and I have to say it is the most epic song that I have heard all year and it is also the best song that Biffy Clyro have created so far in their time as a band and is really going to catapult them into things bigger and better than they could ever imagine.

‘That Golden Rule’ is an heavy guitar driven rock song, everything that happens within the 3minutes and 26seconds of the song is very much unexpected, as the song is crafted in an epic way like bands such as Tool and Kyuss develop their songs where anything can happen and does happen, the guitar riffs and general instrumental work chops and changes throughout the song and the last minute of the song is fantastic as it goes on a mad experimental instrumental mission that suddenly comes to an unexpected end in such an explosive way. Even the vocals from Simon Neil are as strong as ever with the man singing in a such a clear way with his Scottish accent shining through, especially during the gigantic chorus, which is musically a moment you will not be forgetting for a long time.

I have always been interested in Biffy Clyro, but they have never been a band that have been at the top of my list of bands to check out as they have their good songs and at the same time have some very weak songs in their back catalogue, but I really think things are going to change now as ‘That Golden Rule’ is so damn good it has got me wanting to get my hands on the as yet unfinished forthcoming Biffy Clyro album now, but it looks like I have a long wait ahead, but I am pretty convinced that ‘That Golden Rule’, will keep me entertained until then.

5/5
