Blood and Bones delivers a fierce and unrelenting track with their single “Cost of Greed”. From the moment the song starts, it grabs your attention with aggressive riffs and pounding drums that don’t let up. The blend of post-hardcore energy and blackened metalcore heaviness gives the song an intense edge that matches its powerful message. What really stands out is the unique vocal performance led by Alice “Luna” Smith, an AI persona whose harsh screams mix with human emotion to create a sound that’s both unsettling and captivating. This mix of technology and raw energy makes the song feel modern but deeply emotional, like a call to wake up to the harsh realities of profit-driven war.
Lyrically, “Cost of Greed” is a direct and scathing critique of how war is often driven by greed and profit rather than justice or necessity. The lyrics cut through any romanticism about conflict, instead exposing its brutal machinery. Lines hit hard and fast, matching the relentless music, making it clear this isn’t just a song to listen to casually. It demands your full attention. The song’s intensity is not just in the sound but also in the message—Blood and Bones uses every growl, scream, and riff to express frustration and anger about the way greed fuels destruction. The production keeps everything tight and heavy, allowing the song to maintain its raw edge without losing clarity or focus.
“Cost of Greed” is a strong preview of Blood and Bones’ upcoming EP ‘War Without’, which promises to explore similar themes with the same unapologetic energy. This single shows the band’s commitment to mixing political commentary with melodic brutality, making their music more than just noise—it’s a powerful statement. Blood and Bones proves that heavy music can carry deep meaning, and with their blend of live instruments and AI vocals, they bring something fresh and urgent to the metalcore scene. For anyone looking for music that challenges both the ears and the mind, “Cost of Greed” delivers in full force.
