Live reviews
Justin Symbol, “The king of negativity” is as visually compelling as the music itself. But shocking is a misdirection, his live performance are cinematic, With a minimum of stage props, Justin Symbol creates a theatrical backdrop to each of his songs, engaging the senses in a total immersion into his story. Justin believes that, the nature of taboo art, is that it forces people to confront parts of themselves that they do not want to acknowledge. In my observation, people react really positively to it. It’s like now they feel they can access this new part of themselves. The performance is like a ritual and it allows them to sort of break free from something they can’t access. While all music has the ability to evoke meaning and emotion in listeners, Justin Symbol offers a way to consider concepts outside of the box. Justin is the definition of duality. The show was mesmerizing, captivating all the senses. There is a distinct soulful quality in Justin’s vocals that transmits emotion through the crowd like an electric current. Haunting guitar rhythms paired with powerful bass lines and sick beats from DJ swamp.
