Doom Stoned latest release, "Amber," starts as a soulful ballad and halfway through turns full heavy metal with a twist of drama. That’s one of the key strengths of the song, taking the track from a vulnerable meditation into something much more aggressive. Beneath the weightier sections lurks an indie sensibility, an interesting and quite strange mix. The constant image of being "trapped in amber" underlines the emotional paralysis of the song and the instrumentation makes that feeling real. “Amber” is a wild ride. Intense, unpredictable and deliberately uncomfortable, it turns some internal tension into a genre-bending experience that’s hard to forget.
