Scarlett O’Hara Debuts Metalcore Single 'Obsessive'
Today, Scarlett O'Hara released their melodic metalcore track "Obsessive." The band's new and modernized sound is charging back into the scene with a vengeance after honing their craft and branding their own style of "Brodeo" metalcore characterized by harmonized minor scale riffs and heavier and faster breakdowns. The groovy, sing along melodies on "Obsessive" are juxtaposed by the deeply self aware and reflective lyrics:
"Our latest song hinges on the damaging effects of jealousy, covetousness, and obsession. "Obsessive" aims to reveal these toxic emotions, and help refocus us on our own actions, rather than the actions of others. Whether it's successes, failures, or just quality of life in general, we believe collective growth begins with our individual choices. If we all focus on our personal shortcomings, then we all work together for a better future." - Scarlett O'Hara
