With “Parallel Lies (Day 1 - Emma),” Deron Daum delivers a hard rock experience that feels cinematic from the very first moment. The single introduces Detective Emma Simms, a sharp, commanding presence caught in the middle of tense interrogations and climbing suspicion.
Every crushing riff, every pulsing groove, and every heavy melodic layer is performed entirely on bass. The result is a sound that feels darker, thicker, and unexpectedly hypnotic. It creates a unique tension that perfectly mirrors the mystery surrounding Emma and the cast of possible suspects orbiting her investigation.
Deron Daum’s background as a mixing engineer at MagicMix Studio near Seattle becomes impossible to ignore throughout the production. The song is polished without losing its natural edge, balancing clarity with intensity to keep the listener locked in from beginning to end. Every detail feels intentional, reinforcing the emotional weight and suspense embedded in the track.
Beyond the music itself, “Parallel Lies (Day 1 - Emma)” carries an fascinating layer of nature through Deron Daum’s Tolkien inspired puzzle elements, rewarding listeners willing to dig deeper beneath the surface. That sense of hidden meaning gives the release a replay value many modern rock tracks lack.
