SYORA - Anchorite [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“SYORA brings a vintage hard rock sound with ‘Anchorite,’ and it is the kind of sound you don’t much hear anymore unless you go looking and that is a shame. Interestingly enough, the video showcases a man looking for something he thinks he can never find again.

Both the song and the video are captivating in that something bad is going to happen kind of way. The foreboding sense of doom is captivating and the true rock sound is the perfect vehicle for such a beast. ”
