ENHYPEN’s Deadly Bother is a part of a “particular album” tied to their Darkish Moon storyline. This collection includes music movies, webtoons and internet novels. It could be misplaced on these of us who’re informal followers, however today each Okay-pop group must have lore and ENHYPEN’s apparently contains vampires, werewolves and blood alters. You’ll want to be invested to make sense of all of it, and the group’s acolytes will probably wring extra from Deadly Bother than I can.

HYBE appears to like these broody rock ballads. At their greatest, they provide a cathartic shot of emotion tied to epic melodies. However too typically, they’re simply sort of angsty for the sake of angst. Deadly Bother might have been recorded by any of the company’s acts to related impact. As an OST to this Darkish Moon universe, I suppose it paints temper nicely. However as a track itself, it feels fairly boring.

At slightly below three minutes, Deadly Bother can be robbed of the possibility to blossom into its full potential. A track like this requires a dramatic climax, however the guys merely trudge alongside the identical limp association. The refrain presents some drama, however even right here the sluggish manufacturing counteracts its effusive power.
