Samuel Yuri’s latest single grabs you right from the start with its gritty, heavy sound. The São Paulo artist has put together a track that bounces between goth rock, grunge, and classic rock without getting stuck in any one box, and the guitars are aggressive and unpolished in the best way, and the drums deserve a shoutout for holding everything together with real skill.
Anyone who loved Type O Negative or Alice in Chains will recognize some of the DNA here, but Samuel is not copying anyone. He is doing his own thing with these influences. The production keeps things stripped back, letting each part of the song do its job without getting buried under unnecessary layers. When those big riffs come in, they land with real force, and everything sounds honest and unforced.
Being from Brazil gives Samuel a different angle on this darker rock style. You can hear it in how he balances the heavy moments with some unexpected warmth. This guy knows how to build a mood and keep you locked in for the whole ride. If you are curious about where Samuel Yuri goes from here and want to catch his new releases as they come out, you should definitely follow him on Instagram.
