Rosso Tierney goes all out on a massive rocker, “This Gun”
This is the type of song that doesn’t ask for your attention, it starts out loud, and only levels up from the first notes and beyond! With “This Gun,” Rosso Tierney delivers exactly that kind of moment. It’s a massive, euphoric blast of modern metal energy that balances sheer force with emotion, proving Tierney isn’t just chasing heaviness for its own sake. He’s making a statement in a truly beautiful and artistic way.
From the opening moments, the track hits with purpose. Thick, distorted guitars lock in with roaring drums, creating a foundation that feels built for both headphones and packed venues. Yet what makes the song truly resonate isn’t just its weight of it all. It’s the way Tierney uses that power to frame something human and vulnerable. His vocal performance towers over the mix, soaring with conviction while still allowing cracks of emotion to show through. You can hear him letting loose, not just technically but spiritually, as if the song itself is a release valve. Some people write in diaries or journals and some people make music like this that puts it all out there for everyone to hear.
Taking tons of influence from artists like Foo Fighters, Ozzy Osbourne, and plenty more, Tierney stitches together a sound that feels familiar without ever feeling borrowed. The chorus is especially memorable, the kind you can imagine being screamed back at him by a crowd, fists in the air, adrenaline spiking. It’s heavy metal that doesn’t alienate, accessible without losing its teeth. Honestly sometimes we feel when people hear “metal” without being familiar, they get a bad taste in your mouth. What he’s done here with the melodies and that accessibility makes for a perfect song to introduce anyone who’s wanting to get into it.
To us, what stood out the most was its cinematic style that flowed right through. Tierney clearly understands dynamics. He knows when to pull back just enough to let the emotion breathe and when to slam the accelerator to the floor. The drums hit like controlled explosions, the guitars remain aggressive but never muddy, and the production keeps everything crisp and immersive. It’s loud, yes, but it’s also carefully shaped.
As a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, Tierney’s command over his sound is impressive. There’s a confidence here that suggests an artist fully inhabiting his lane, unafraid to confront intensity head-on while still leaving space for reflection. The result feels like a shot of adrenaline in music form, an all-out rocker designed to be played at irresponsible volumes.
“This Gun” doesn’t just showcase Rosso Tierney’s ability to write a hard-hitting track. In our eyes and ears, it feels like the start of something much bigger. So please, click those links below to listen in, follow along, and of course to stay tuned for the latest!
