Nine Plan Failed - Father, Father (song review) |self-released, 2020|

Nine Plan Failed is a band from Boston, MA with Kon and Jake Frederick. "Father, Father" is their second single.

The song begins with intense, fiery, memorable guitar riffs mixed with dynamic drum beats. All this already tells listeners about the incoming vibe - the genre here could be described as progressive metal. It’s edgy, lively, groovy, very well balanced in both arrangements and the overall composition. It engages both ears and brains, because there’s so much going on yet the performance is under tight control, too. One could probably find musical similarities to the likes of Tool, Devin Townsend, Testament or Disturbed, to mention a few. The atmosphere here may feel intense and heavy but the vocals together with a soloing guitar bring a neat contrast the rhythm section.
In "Father, Father", the instruments support one another along with matched vocal parts. Kon’s a skilled singer, operating extremely well between middle-range and high notes. The chorus is instantly memorable thanks to the rhythm of lyrics aligning perfectly with the music ("Father, father see the look in your eyes / Gathered masses tempted by your design / Father, father I see right through your disguise / promises of righteousness divine").

The song could be easily utilized in a movie, as it has a powerful, expressive, and a somewhat dramatic sound, while it’s very memorable as well. The repetitions don’t sound monotone thanks to a variety of interesting peaks within the instrumental lines. The track’s length is perfect to enjoy the taste of music for long enough, while definitely fitting prime time radio play.
Without a shadow of doubt, Nine Plan Failed will draw the attention of certain music listeners and expectations for more new material. Make sure you get their songs in music stores now to support the duo in doing what they love.
