An Inside Look at 22 HERTZ's 'Adrenochrome'
In the heart of Toronto’s music scene, a unique sound pulses—the electrifying beats of 22 HERTZ. This band defies conventions and embraces the raw essence of alternative/industrial rock. Led by the enigmatic Ralf Muller, whose musical journey traces back to the thrash heavy metal days of Point Blank in the 90s, 22 HERTZ unleashes a sonic storm with their latest album, ‘Adrenochrome.’
But what does ‘Adrenochrome’ signify? The term itself evokes a sense of intensity, hinting at a chemical compound rumored to induce euphoria and altered states of consciousness. In the realm of 22 HERTZ, ‘Adrenochrome’ becomes a metaphorical journey through the depths of the human psyche, exploring themes of addiction, manipulation, and inner turmoil, inviting you to connect with these emotions.
Ralf Muller, the driving force behind 22 HERTZ, brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the table. After years of searching for the right musical companions, Muller took matters into his own hands, recording demo songs that would later pave the way for the birth of 22 HERTZ. With a background deeply rooted in heavy metal, Muller infuses the band’s sound with a unique blend of aggression and introspection, setting them apart in the alternative rock landscape.
“Adrenochrome” marks the band’s sophomore album, following the success of their debut release, “Detonate.” With each track meticulously crafted by Muller himself, the album offers a glimpse into his multifaceted talents as a vocalist, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. From the pulsating rhythms of “Back to Hell” to the haunting melodies of “Gravity,” each song in “Adrenochrome” takes listeners on a visceral journey through the darker corners of the human experience.
One standout track from the album is ‘Get the Hell Out,’ a blistering anthem that delves into the complexities of inner conflict and self-deception. With lyrics that speak of addiction and turmoil, the song resonates with raw emotion, reflecting the band’s unwavering commitment to authenticity and honesty in their music, inspiring you with their dedication.
“I can’t get the hell out of me
it lives inside my veins
I can’t get the hell out of me
its driving me insane
I can’t get the hell out of me
I cannot break free from these chains
I can’t get the hell out of me
I’m the hunter I’m the prey.....”
