From the ashes of classic rock’s golden era, where the titans of sound like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Nirvana reigned supreme, rises a duo that embodies both reverence and rebellion: Desu Taem. Formed by father-and-son duo Shan Greene (songwriter and lead vocalist) and Nick Greene (multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer), the band’s driving force is their vision: “to be hardness and severity.” With their self-styled genre of Savage Retro Rock, they breathe new life into the timeless soul of rock ‘n’ roll while pushing its boundaries with an electrifying modern edge.

Their latest album, “More Crap,”is a tour-de-force of creativity. Featuring 19 tracks that veer from the blistering energy of “Narcissist” to the atmospheric echoes of “Three Suns” and the introspective grit of “The Deceiver,” it is an expansive journey through the layers of rock music. However, it’s their upcoming, still-unreleased songs, “Serial Mind” and “Which Part of NO Didn’t You Understand?”, that truly cement Desu Taem’s status as rock visionaries.

Prepare yourself for a cerebral assault as “Serial Mind” kicks in with a hypnotic riff that feels like a sonic snake, coiling tighter with every beat. The track’s structure is a masterclass in tension and release. Starting with a hauntingly sparse intro, Nick Greene’s guitar work effortlessly oscillates between precision and fury, each note sharp enough to cut through steel. As the rhythm builds, the bass and drums form a relentless backbone, driving the track forward with a visceral intensity.

The vocals pierce through this dense soundscape, alternating between urgent verses and soaring, melodic choruses. The lyrics delve into the fractured psyche of a mind consumed by obsession, crafting a narrative that’s equal parts thrilling and unsettling. The combination of haunting melodies and crushing rhythms gives “Serial Mind” a duality—it’s both cerebral and primal, appealing to the thinking listener while igniting a visceral headbanging response.

On the flip side, “Which Part of NO Didn’t You Understand?” grabs listeners by the throat with its unapologetic ferocity. This track is an anthem for defiance, encapsulating Desu Taem’s ethos of freedom and self-expression. The song explodes into action with thunderous drums and a riff so infectious it feels like it was forged in the fires of classic rock history.

Shan’s vocal delivery on this track is nothing short of commanding—each lyric a rallying cry, dripping with grit and conviction. The chorus is pure rock catharsis, a singalong moment destined to echo through arenas. Nick’s production chops shine as he layers the track with subtle effects and textures, ensuring it retains its raw power without losing polish.

What makes Desu Taem extraordinary is their ability to seamlessly blend the raw, untamed energy of rock with a meticulous attention to detail. Their music is undeniably retro, paying homage to their influences, but it’s also fiercely modern—designed to resonate with a generation that demands both authenticity and innovation.

“Serial Mind” and “Which Part of NO Didn’t You Understand?” embody this duality perfectly. The former is a deep dive into psychological complexity, while the latter is a visceral anthem of rebellion. Together, they showcase the full spectrum of Desu Taem’s artistry, from intricate composition to unbridled energy.

With “More Crap” already setting the stage for their relentless creativity, these upcoming tracks prove that Desu Taem is not merely a band to watch—they’re a band to experience. Their fearless approach to music, coupled with their dedication to preserving the spirit of rock while evolving its sound, makes them a force to be reckoned with.

If you’ve ever craved music that shakes your core, inspires your mind, and unleashes your wild side, Desu Taem is your answer. And with songs like “Serial Mind” and “Which Part of NO Didn’t You Understand?”, they’re not just knocking on the door of rock’s legacy—they’re kicking it wide open.  So, turn up the volume, clear some space to move, and let Desu Taem take you on a ride. This isn’t just music; this is rock ‘n’ roll reborn.
