Metal/Review NOAPOLOGY - Pull Me In
Ukraine-based rockers NOAPOLOGY blend the most potent elements of female-fronted hard rock and melodic metal with their own virtuosity and fire to create music that has already attracted millions of fans worldwide. The band was started as a YouTube cover act called Sershen & Zaritskaya in 2014. They were wildly successful and saw their hard rock cover videos gain over 200 million views.
NOAPOLOGY’s latest single, "Pull Me In," delivers a powerful statement from one of the most promising modern metal acts. The band continues to carve out a distinctive identity within the global metal scene, blending modern metal and metalcore elements with touches of classic heavy music to create a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless.
At the heart of the track is vocalist Daria Zaritskaya, whose commanding harsh vocals bring both intensity and emotional depth to the song. Her performance shifts seamlessly between aggression and vulnerability, capturing the push-and-pull tension suggested by the song’s title. The band’s instrumental work matches her energy at every turn, combining crushing guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and dynamic tempo shifts that keep the listener fully engaged.
What truly makes "Pull Me In" stand out are its explosive breakdowns and carefully crafted build-ups, delivering moments that are equally suited for solitary listening or live crowd eruptions. The song balances raw power with polished production, ensuring every riff and vocal line hits with maximum impact without sacrificing clarity.
NOAPOLOGY’s approach feels refreshingly confident, refusing to simply follow genre trends. Instead, the band channels influences from across heavy music while forging a sound that feels uniquely their own. With this single, they demonstrate both technical skill and a clear artistic vision.
For fans of modern metal seeking fresh energy and compelling vocal performances, "Pull Me In" is a gripping listen that confirms NOAPOLOGY as a band worth watching closely as they continue to rise.
