Single of the Week: “Lush” by Black Polish

This song is so very, very heavy. “LUSH” has all the elements of the perfect modern metal song… It’s such a ferocious bit of brutality, all without the overused scream/growl that’s a signature of today’s heavy music. Black Polish is bringing the double bass drum hits with the drop D guitars, and it’s definitely pit-ready. 

“LUSH” is the latest single off Black Polish’s upcoming full-length, YUNAcoming your way October 29th- just in time for Halloween!
