WHITEROOMNIGHTMARE is the brainchild of self-taught musician Paul Anketell and the man from Northern Ireland has been making music for about two years now. He says on his Facebook page that he “makes music that is too heavy for some and not heavy enough for others!” But he thinks it is “just right.”

What You’re Made Of is his new single and was released on 10/03/2023.

“’What You’re Made Of’ is a pep talk for anyone agonising over whether or not to follow their dreams…. ignore the haters and naysayers and do what you love,” says WHITEROOMNIGHTMARE of the track, something that we all need to hear every now and then.

This is a hard-hitting track that kicks off right from the very start. The guitars are heavy, with riffs flying at you left, right and centres yet melodies come at you from all angles too. There is a certain dynamism to the guitar work that shows the talent of this guy. The pounding drums are a great accompaniment to the guitars and together these give the track a great blend of alternative rock and hard rock with some heavy metal influences thrown in there too.

The vocals are very distinctive on this track. Paul’s voice is soft yet so full of power and grittiness that he totally commands the song with the vocal and the contrast of his voice against the harshness of the instrumentation is great to hear, total opposite but completely working in unison together.

This is a great track, and I can’t wait to hear more from this Irishman. Please check out WHITEROOMNIGHTMARE on social media and Spotify and see what you think!
