On Dazed, Tiavara is able to blend together the vocal-forward approach of System of a Down with the chugging, taut instrumentation of the Deftones and Machine Head. The guitar / drum dynamic represents the backdrop for Dazed, ensuring that there’s a tremendous amount of momentum pushing listeners to the song’s conclusion. Fans of late 1990s / early 2000s metal will find much to sink their teeth into with this single, as there are nods to performers such as Coal Chamber and Sevendust peppered throughout. Dazed is precisely what metal needs in 2020 and beyond. We’re excited to hear more from Tiavara in the future.
