With their latest track, “Killing the Giant”, Rook Road brings a thunderous old-school rock anthem straight from the heart of Germany. Channeling the spirit of Guns N’ Roses with a modern twist, this powerhouse band delivers gritty guitar riffs, powerful drums, and an unmistakable Hammond organ that feels like a ride through a roaring storm. The track’s intense lyrics, “I am blessed, I hear the preacher from behind / Baptize the iron with the fire”, reflect a raw energy that blurs the line between strength and surrender. The accompanying music video, shot in the dead of night, unfolds a mysterious narrative: a woman enters an empty bookstore, surrounded by haunting visions, before pulling a book from the shelf. As the camera sways into a dreamlike state, the visuals echo the song’s dark yet electrifying atmosphere, leaving fans intrigued and hungry for more. This captivating release is brought to you by Slash Music.
