In a music industry defined by cookie-cutter styles and formulaic hits, Italian nu metalcore sensation R.O.T. continues to break boundaries, most recently with their fresh, fiery track "Ultra Instinct". This duo's bold, electrifying new single marks a milestone in their quest for innovation, bringing together metalcore and phonk in a fusion that challenges the status quo and redefines the genre. "Ultra Instinct" serves as a testament to R.O.T.'s audacious creativity and remarkable technical prowess. The creative process behind this track was not only swift but deeply enjoyable. "I was so satisfied after the release of ULTRA EGO and our approach to phonk sounds that I felt that sound really 'MINE'," revealed Louis Littlebrain, the band's guitarist, producer, and backing vocalist. This satisfaction inspired a burst of creativity that led to the genesis of "Ultra Instinct". The song came into being when Louis was listening to Scarlxrd, discovering new facets of phonk that sparked the concept of integrating it into a metalcore song. In his words, "Within minutes, I created the main melody, the riff, and chorus chords. Everything else came automatically." The lyrics of "Ultra Instinct" are inspired by the power acquisition process in Dragon Ball, yet the band gives it a deeper meaning. The band explained, "We can find a more realistic meaning to it, that is to let go and really find who we are, abandon the conceptions that have been stuck in our minds and follow our instincts." This emphasis on self-discovery and authenticity forms the crux of their message, transforming the track into an anthem of personal empowerment. When it comes to their discography, R.O.T. is not afraid to venture into uncharted territories. Their fearless approach to music creation has resulted in a diverse repertoire that defies conventional categorization. Their current focus lies in creating a sound that's "solid and direct" and using catchy choruses with emo vibes to bridge towards more melodic and softer songs. The band hopes that "Ultra Instinct" will resonate with their fans on an emotional level. As Louis explained, "This song can finally make us connect directly with our fans because it has a very strong emotional feeling that we have always struggled to put into our songs so far." R.O.T.'s unique blend of aggressive metalcore and melodic phonk has set the stage for an explosion of fresh, innovative sounds in the metalcore scene. Their commitment to musical authenticity and fearless innovation marks them as true pioneers in their genre, and their latest track, "Ultra Instinct," is a testament to their prowess and creativity.
