'Fireflake' emerges as a contrast to the term 'snowflake', used to classify the latest generations as “fragile, vulnerable, and suspicious”. The song, which gives it its name and closes the new album by KrazarK, a stoner rock band from Madrid, is far from being a criticism of millennials and generation Z, it’s an invitation to joyful nihilism and self-destruction, in a decadent world that rejects and relegates us to a background where all capacity of change is innocuous and sterile.
The LP develops with sounds close to contemporary stoner rock and some influences from american rock and metal from the 90's, with some reference to The Doors in the lyricism of its voice. The songs go through rough passages and melodious paths, addressing themes such as ideological dogmatism, heartbreak, alienation from social media, sex as a healthy balm to face existence and a certain nihilistic hedonism, sometimes tragic and other times light-hearted, but always as a call to action.
‘Fireflake’ reveals itself as a chaotic escape through burning landscapes and destroyed roads that take us away from the pain, immersed in a life whose only meaning is the infinite search for a hope that we may never find.
In the background, 'Fireflake' is a fun album to listen to, with many dynamics that define the bittersweet world in which it resonates, like a distant litany that reminds us that we are still alive, even though they want to bury us under tons of fear and anxiety.
