Rillington Place – Lament

Rillington Place are a five piece alternative metal band who released their debut EP titled ‘Lost in the Storm’ back in 2024. Residing in Dewsbury, the band are heavily involved in the live music scene in Yorkshire and are even a part of the Dewsbury Music Foundation. They are a unique band not only because of their musical style but because the majority of them are family. 

Their track ‘Lament’ follows in the footsteps of iconic influences like Deftones and Nirvana, channeling the raw intensity and emotional depth that defined 90s grunge while carving out a sound uniquely their own. The song tackles the theme of bipolar disorder, drawing from personal experience to deliver a hauntingly authentic narrative that resonates with listeners. Gloomy, textured guitars weave seamlessly with the rasp of the lead vocals, creating a soundscape that is both visceral and immersive. As the track builds, it culminates in a striking finale where a commanding drum section locks in with a powerful guitar riff, leaving a lasting impression of intensity and skill. ‘Lament’ not only showcases Rillington Place’s musical prowess but also solidifies their identity as a band unafraid to confront heavy subjects with artistry and conviction. This track marks them as a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary rock scene, proving they can balance emotional vulnerability with hard-hitting sonic impact.
