Providence, Rhode Island, is bringing in some brutal djent deathcore to the scene, especially with the band Edjinn (pronounced e-jinn)! With slamming riffs, heavy drums, and vocal harshes that will have even the meekest of souls in the pit. Formed in 2023, they've released multiple singles and one EP, including instrumental versions of some tracks.
On the 1st of October, Edjinn released their newest single, "Reflection", which keeps up the brutality that they have crafted in prior work with more finesse.
"Reflection" is heavy instrumentally, vocally, and lyrically while still being a deathcore song with more easily audible lyrics. This does put it in a more accessible space for heavy music, with the ability to reach more people who like the lyrics to be more understandable and to things like radio and sync placements.
Speaking of which, I think this song would be killer in a video game or in a fight, war, or manhunt scene in a movie or show. This song could really take those types of media and amplify it to the max. I can personally envision the track in games like Call of Duty, DOOM, or Twisted Metal (anyone else miss that game) especially.
The lyrics themselves slam in like the powerhouse they are from the very opening lines, "Buried beneath the weight of my skin / A thousand voices dragging me in / Every scar is a memory carved / By the enemy living inside my heart." These lines bring attention to mental health and the struggle to heal because of the weight things are pushing you down.

The production on this song is really clean and clear for a deathcore song. The instrumentals and vocals are layered so that they don't overpower and distort each other, which is great, as the frontman, Evan, actually has quite audible and discernible harsh vocals. All of the elements feel well packaged not only on their own but together and tied into a neat bow with the fact that you can just know this song has to hit 10x harder from the pit at show!
All in all, I personally love this band and would love to see more people stumble upon their music. This band has a solid sound, solid shows from posts on social media, and a solid set visual that I think I love. I can see this band taking off and going a long way with their musical endeavors. And I will definitely be on the bandwagon!
Edjinn has a solid execution from band to tracks, so now we just need to get themselves out there in more live markets and get their music to reach a little further digitally! After that, it's all history! I can't wait to hear and see what Edjinn puts out and does next. Go listen to "Reflection" and make sure you're hitting follow and share on their single!
