From his landmark EP “Blood”, Joshua Ketchmark releases one of the most powerful and heartfelt singles in “Deadliest Thing”. The powerful folk rock tune explores the devastating and transformative impact that loss has on us. It’s profoundly moving, thriving on Ketchmark’s signature groovy and slow moving compositions that are carried by his pronounced vocal performance that’s show-stopping in quality. The drum roll before the second chorus, “How many moments have been stolen” is immediately gripping, a transportive moment that has you immediately looking at all the pain you’ve undergone through heartbreak and other moments of loss that have fundamentally altered your perception of self and those around you.
Soft and supple yet immensely captivating and moving, “Deadliest Thing” is a defiant standout on ‘Blood’ that’s bound to move even the most stoic and pained of souls. It’s immensely gripping and painfully poignant in many ways.
