Blood and Bones' "Cost of Greed": Melodic Metalcore to Machine-Fueled Monstrosity

From Münster, Germany, Blood and Bones release a scorched earth with their new single, "Cost of Greed," an unrelenting metalcore track that deals with the disturbing realities of war driven by profits and greedy gain. With backing by energetic AI persona Alice "Luna" Smith, the band can combine synthetic elements and the humanity of musicians, resulting in a track that is both ground-breaking and emotionally crushing. 

"Cost of Greed" plows forward with punishing guitar riffs, pounding double kicks, and sharp guttural screams that tear open the layers of atmosphere and distortion. Melodic yet brutally aggressive, the song captures the chaos and absurdity of a world in which lives are treated as disposable for economic gain.

Tower's vocal performance is anywhere from true to harsh, and it feels seamless and fluid; he could be AI, or crying out from the very depths of the human soul. The use of an AI entity in a song about human desensitization in war feels like an intentional juxtaposition from the band, with a ton of emotional weight behind it.

The track provides an exciting preview of the band’s upcoming concept EP, War Without, which is due out August 1st, and which promises to probe even more deeply into destruction, resistance, and identity. In the words of the band, Blood and Bones isn’t just making metalcore. They’re redefining it with a fierce DIY ethic and a daring vision. “Cost of Greed” proves that even machines can rage for justice.
