“After We Go” by Tantric

The title track of Tantric's 2004 album, "After We Go" became the record's third and last single that July, and it closed a chapter twice over: it was the final Tantric release with every original member aboard, and the band's last for Maverick, the label they split from in March 2006.

It's a mid-tempo post-grunge grinder, heavy riffs stacked into something dark and brooding, and what sets it apart is the vocal swap. Hugo Ferreira handles the verses and the hooks in his baritone, then guitarist Todd Whitener steps up to sing lead on the chorus, a change of texture from the band's earlier singles.
