Origin is an innovative song featuring a blend of electronic and metal elements, which gives the track an intriguing distinct style. ESCAPIST, the artist behind this piece, is a music duo formed in Ryazan, Russia. The duo has years of experience creating music, and this shows in their four singles released from late 2024 to early 2025. They are now based in Warsaw and appeal to audiences who are fans of introspective, dark music.
In Origin, the song begins slowly, leaning more towards a dark electronic theme. Emotional vocals and minor chords from the keys form this deep soundscape. Multiple details such as the supporting vocals in the background and electronic licks from the keys give the tune an intricate structure. The first verse pushes the song forward, eventually transitioning into a build-up and release of the climactic hook. This part emphasizes the sounds and powerful vocals. Immediately after the first chorus, ESCAPIST does a complete bar of lyrics in a grunge metallic style of vocals. This contrasts with the reflective singer during the verses and hooks. Eventually, the song explodes nearing the end into a full-on metal hook with screaming vocals, loud instruments, and an impact on the audience. Origin can pull listeners in and out of a dynamic structure, keeping them engaged throughout the song. The drastic change from whispering vocals to a loud, emotional, metal scream gives the track a distinct taste.
