“Speak No Evil” by Crymwav Sharpens Their Edge

Los Angeles–based rock band, Crymwav, led by vocalist and songwriter Roger Deering, blend punk, post-punk, goth, and classic metal influences. Formed from shared roots in 1980s American hardcore, the band delivers guitar-driven hard rock with a dark edge. The current lineup includes Lloyd Stuart Casson, Bruce Braddock, and drummer Pat Muzingo. Now, they return with their latest single Speak No Evil, released in December 2025, offering a preview of their upcoming full-length album in 2026.

Speak No Evil opens with a tight, full-band strike, as guitars, bass, and drums lock in and hit with immediate force. Soon after, the vocals cut in with a young, raspy defiance, carrying a sense of urgency that defines the track. The repeated refrain, “Speak no evil now,” lands early and stays central, functioning as both a hook and a warning.

From there, the track settles into a dense, chewy groove, with the rhythm section driving an infectious, earworm pulse. At the same time, the lyrics feel watchful and tense, as if every line moves under unseen eyes. Power presses in from all sides, control stays unspoken but constant, and the song carries the unease of being monitored without ever naming it outright.

As the song progresses, the constant pressure created through repetition and drive mirrors the inescapable loop the lyrics suggest. Midway through, the instruments drop out sharply, leaving the melody exposed, like a signal briefly cutting to silence. That pause doesn’t offer relief; instead, it feels tense and watchful. Then the band pushes back in, rebuilding with control rather than chaos, as if tightening a system back into place. The guitar solo follows with a sharp, cutting twang, sounding less like release and more like confrontation. When the full rhythm returns, it reinforces the track’s sense of urgency and resistance.

Finally, Speak No Evil closes by looping the word “now,” distorted and fraying at the edges, as it fades into the background. The repetition feels insistent rather than comforting, leaving the track unresolved and tense, as if the warning hasn’t ended—only slipped out of hearing.
