The New Single “Manipulator” by Rock Artist POKE Is Now Available on All the Major Streaming Platforms.

The explosive euphonies are extended across the full length of the rhythmic horizon that intersects with Atlantic-like harmonies that Poke who is a Synth Rock musical project started in 2017 by virtuosic music producer and sound engineer Armando Doval, founding member of the band phoenix/ NEBULIN design! In his quest to bring brutally satisfactory rock anthems closer to your living room, he blends the alternative synth Rock with industrial, electronic and Goth elements for those aesthetically pleasing and enigmatically tasteful melodies that possess infectious energy and excitement only Poke can generate! Poke released his first self-titled EP in 2017- a record that mixed and mastered melodic synth lines and grungy guitars with Gothic undertones. He followed that with his second album “Infected” which featured a more focused and cohesive Industrial Synth Rock approach to his production style and delivery. The new album “Manipulator” is set to continue on the explorative journey with cinematic synth-rock records. In addition to the release of the new album Manipulator, the title track is also the first single and video from the album.

Poke weaves a colorful tapestry of sound on “Manipulator,” with this industrial synth-rock employing some mesmeric electronic guitars, swirling organs, slamming rock drums and a consistently effective bass rhythm and beat to set the stage perfectly for Armando’s powerful and stirring vocal performance. Drawing inspiration from the 80s and 90s shoegaze, “Manipulator” should have broad appeal with rock audiences across the board, thanks to its polished production and high levels of musicianship. The lead vocals show versatility and range, with a full-throated chorus feel that really shimmers! All of this careful composition is in direct service of the sensitive lyrics with immensely resonant qualities, drawing listeners into a state of openness on what happens behind the scenes as far as manipulation by world leaders is concerned!

This is bravery epitomized by bringing such a sensitive topic to light that calls out the evils and atrocities of those who possess power and their manipulative ways of trying to control everything including the way the people think to the benefit of their egotistic powers and a few businesses that control almost everything. This is like an eye-opener packaged in a blazingly layered rhythmic suit!

The music video is a cinema straight out of Hollywood and you might be forgiven for thinking you’re watching a scene straight out of “DR. Strange!” It is a high-quality and cinematic music video that draws in on the message as it perfectly displays what “Manipulator” is all about. This track stands to resonate with anyone who can open themselves up to its meaning; through the sheer power and stylistic impact of the genre used to convey the message, “Manipulator” should find a warm welcome among fans of thoughtful wrought and sensitive original industrial synth rock!
