“Black Hearted Clown” by Desu Taem is lifted from their 11th album, “Just Another Asshole,” which is a complete immersion into brutal retro rock. In classic fashion for the band, this track combines overdriven, raw energy with big, thoughtful riffs that feel both classic and unapologetically modern.
The song’s beat and gruff vocals drag you into a world of gloom and twisted logic, evoking the mythical idea of a jester whose infectious cheerfulness masks a backstabbing heart. It’s retro rock that is steeled, undiluted, and more ferociously alive.
This single blends brutal aggression with intricacy, and by the end of “Black Hearted Clown,” you feel invigorated, mildly disturbed, and hopelessly hooked. It’s an experience, full-on immersion in the chaotic genius of retro rock as seen through the eyes of one of today’s most brazenly progressive bands.
