Brave New World

Brave New World is the ninth track from Greta Van Fleet's debut studio album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army.

Background
According to Jake Kiszka, the song was one of the newest on the album and was written during the recording process.

About the song
The track was described as "full of moody arrangements and explosive, twisted riffs" and with "traveling guitar lines and distorted power chords."

Critical Reception
Metal Nexus praised the dark sound and ambience of the track, saying "The track is in now way somber, slow or melancholy, but the way in which the vocals are delivered and the instrumental break downs fill you with this overwhelming dark ambiance. Sam’s bass playing is prevalent here and adds a tremendous amount of groove along side Danny’s thundering drum beats and cymbal crashes. I believe this is one of the strongest tracks on the album. It is powerful and dynamic in the way it’s written. While the band can turn any of their tracks into a single I believe “Brave New World” is the sleeper on this album, and it will quickly become a fan favorite due to its raw aesthetic and unbridled darkness."

Trivia

 * The song borrows its title from Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel of the same name.
