Ukrainian Deathrockers Old Cat’s Drama Debut New Single “Prymara”

In their latest single Prymara, Ukrainian deathrockers Old Cat’s Drama have dipped their billowy artistic quills into the inkwell of classic gothic rock, drawing a line straight to the heart of their influences – think Clan of Xymox meets Christian Death, with a helping of Bauhaus and Corpus Delicti. The track, tinged with the same kind of existential angst that made The Cure’s “One Hundred Years” a staple for moody introspection, offers a kind of melancholy that’s almost cheerful in its gloom.

Prymara is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, with the band weaving a narrative that’s as evocative as a well-spun yarn. This single isn’t just a peek into Old Cat’s Drama’s evolving artistry; it’s like a trailer for an upcoming blockbuster of an album, promising more of their signature blend of brooding melodies and lyrical depth.

At the core of Prymara is a vocal performance that could raise the dead with its haunting power, defining the band’s sound with a ghostly resonance. The guitar work, meanwhile, is a study in melancholic expressiveness, each note dripping with an intensity that’s almost tangible. It’s as if the guitar strings were strummed by the wistful fingers of a lovesick poet, adding layers upon layers to the track’s emotional landscape.

In essence, Prymara is Old Cat’s Drama holding a séance for feelings, where listeners are invited to commune with their innermost emotions, albeit with a knowing smile at the deliciously dramatic proceedings.
