Shockwave (Black Tide song)

"Shockwave" is a song by the American heavy metal band Black Tide, released as a single from their second studio album, Post Mortem, in 2011. The song is a departure from the band's earlier thrash metal sound, leaning more towards a hard rock or alternative metal style.

Musically, "Shockwave" features a prominent use of melodic guitar riffs and a more accessible vocal style compared to some of Black Tide's heavier material. The song's structure is relatively straightforward, consisting of verses, a chorus, and a bridge. Lyrically, "Shockwave" explores themes of emotional turmoil and resilience in the face of adversity.

The song received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its catchiness and its departure from the band's previous sound. While Post Mortem was not as commercially successful as Black Tide's debut album, Light From Above, "Shockwave" remains one of the band's more well-known and frequently played songs. It also enjoyed some moderate radio airplay upon release.
