Slashing Guitars, Confrontational Psych Rock And Mythic Storytelling Underpin Matt C. White’s Latest Release.

Brooklyn Psych-rocker Matt C. White has just dropped the riffalicious second single of his upcoming album ‘A Cosmic Year‘. ‘Blood Divine‘ charges forward like a fever dream in motion, equal parts Psych-Rock invocation and rhythmic ritual. Anchored by a churning, almost feral cadence, the track opens with ominous guitar leads before bursting into a fuzzed-out storm of percussive chaos. It’s heavy, hypnotic, and strangely ancient, like something you’ve heard before in another life. White’s vocals land somewhere between a chant and a warning, threading through a dense mix of saturated guitars, primal drums, and eerie synth warbles that seem to flicker in and out of focus. It’s the second glimpse into ‘A Cosmic Year‘, and it’s clear White is building something vast and untamed.

Where ‘The Way Down‘ leans into groove-heavy psychedelia, ‘Blood Divine‘ claws deeper. It is more confrontational, more cinematic. The track plays like a soundtrack to some long-lost myth, with White explaining it’s inspired by the eternal cycle of predator and prey, blood as a life force fought over since the beginning of time. A bit emo, sure but White’s creative control is unmistakable. Every instrument, every strange ambient flourish is his own, distilled through two years of focused experimentation. If ‘Blood Divine‘ is any indication, ‘A Cosmic Year will be a full-spectrum showcase of Matt’s hazey Pyschedelia-infused soundscape.
