Dead Hands are back with a new single called “The Puppeteer” and it starts with a strong voice, heavy guitars and hard drums. I liked the sound right away because it is loud and full of energy. The melodies are deep and the band gives every part weight. The song carries an anti-war message, looking at what happens when people become tools in someone else’s hands. That message gives the track more meaning. The guitars stay powerful, the drums keep pushing and the production is solid from start to end. It is a strong song with a dark sound and energy.
