about
"Kingpin" is a powerful thrash metal song that delves into the theme of manipulation and control. The lyrics focus on the chief manipulator in a group or undertaking, who uses lies and mobs to take control of society. The song is a scathing critique of those who abuse their power and the devastating effects it has on those around them.
Musically, "Kingpin" is characterized by its fast tempo, aggressive style, and heavy palm-muted guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work and energetic, high-pitched growls. The song's high-energy thrash metal sound is sure to get listeners' blood pumping and is an exciting addition to Tabahi's discography.
lyrics
Chorus:
Kingpin
Ready to Attack
Your True Sin
One more time
Verse I:
They say you lie and cheat
And run the show
Pre-Chorus:
They say you manipulate
And cast your shadows
Sanity
Bigoty, your best friends
Modest Lies
For your pride
No one can preach this whore
Chorus:
Kingpin
Ready to Attack
Your True Sin
Kingpin
Verse II:
They say you derogate
And lead no ways
They say you instigate
Behind the closed doors
Pre-Chorus:
They say you manipulate
And cast your shadows
Sanity
Bigoty, your best friends
Modest Lies
For your pride
No one can preach this whore
Chorus:
Kingpin
Ready to Attack
Your True Sin
KingPin
Breakdown:
You say, I cheat
You fucking creep
You say, I lie
Get ready to weep
Kil, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill
Take their fucking wills
Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill
Veil out their sins
Chorus:
Kingpin
Ready to Attack
Your True Sin
KingPin

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
