Ruby Nixxons “Set Me on Fire”

Rock trio Ruby Nixxons unleash their hard-hitting second single, “Set Me on Fire,” following their heartfelt debut “Keep on Keeping On,” returning to the core of what makes rock n roll great. The new track lays more the heavy side, with psychological guitar riff, soaring vocal and flaming chorus. Elevating and escalating, “Set Me on Fire” is really to storm the world with its raw, irresistible energy.

With “Set Me on Fire” playing on the background, you don’t need no alcohol to get drunk. The rich atmosphere and stadium-filling vibe is already able to make a crowd go crazy, forgetting about themselves in the music. Ruby Nixxons’ anthemic chorus is probably one of the best of the best about this track. They don’t shy away from hitting it hard and true. As a song about irresitibility, it does exactly that to listeners.

The way guitar riff plays out with the recurring chorus and verse structure feels like a mad sonic poetry on its own. The six-minute song gets under your skin and ignites your primal desire to scream and move along with it. Even though “Set Me on Fire” is a studio version, it brings a natural quality of a live performance to it that feels authentic and spiritually transforming.

The metal-infused solo is pretty maddening, a little polyrhythm in the mix to spices things up. Ruby Nixxons also play with the different pacing of speed through the track, which takes collective effort. Although it’s longer than most songs, the track takes listeners on an emotional roller coaster, one never lack of the fun of high and low.
