Polish metal force Virya is back with a new track, “Seed Of Doubt,” a gut punch that screams rather than speaks. Featuring blistering guitars, emotionally wrought vocals, and rhythmic urgency that hits like a tidal wave, this is no ordinary metal track. It’s a lesson in how trust, once broken, can cause the sturdiest structures to collapse.
“Seed of Doubt” is a high-octane anthem with the kind of riff work that fans of Architects or Periphery will immediately latch onto. But there is a more terrifying truth beneath all that firepower. Somehow, the band is confronting the decay and corrosion of doubt of how the smallest kernel of mistrust can trigger a chain of events resulting in complete wreckage. This mirrors our modern relationships and society, drawn in smudge and grit.
Wojciech Bator’s guitar work here is volcanic, erupting with technical flash and melodic chaos that only adds to the strain of the track. Jakub Dąbrowski behind the kit is unrelenting, laying himself down with Lubomyr Kosakovsky’s bass lines to form a merciless rhythm section to push the chaos forward. At their core, Marek Bienias’s vocals cut through the cacophony, raw, guttural, and in control. It feels like a personal exorcism, dragging you into the eye of the storm.
Virya stands out not just by their sound. It’s their philosophy. Riding on that riff, “Seed of Doubt” is a cathartic release, further embracing the band’s purpose to turn their concerts into emotional purges, allowing fans to commiserate and find freedom in knowing they are not alone in life struggles. Every riff, scream and beat pounds with an unshakeable belief that pain is a necessary part of growth, and growth happens only when we confront what haunts us.
In “Seed of Doubt,” Virya transforms frustration, fear, and fury into something weirdly empowering. The song doesn’t promise peace but provides the fire you need to fight for it. And in an age where the world feels on edge all the time, perhaps that’s just the spark we could use.
