Unknown Soldiers (Veterans Edition) is The Higher Desires’ Single Out Now
The project, led by William Walbaum, thrives on authenticity. He composes, sings, and plays with the intensity of someone deeply connected to the music’s purpose.
The opening guitar riff immediately recalls the era when alternative rock, grunge, and hard rock dominated the airwaves. Its raw tone pushes the listener backward in time yet still feels fresh in today’s landscape. There are no artificial beats here—only instruments played with conviction, giving the song a rough edge that suits the subject matter.
As the track progresses, layers of sound combine in unexpected ways. The grunge influence meets hard rock weight, but hints of psychedelic textures also surface, creating moments that expand the sonic space. This combination keeps the arrangement lively, while the constant rhythm drives the song forward with hypnotic force. The beat almost marches, echoing the tribute embedded in the theme of honoring veterans.
The chorus strikes with power, not because it aims for perfection, but because it values emotion over polish. Something is refreshing in how the track allows imperfections to shine through. Those rough edges mirror the lived experiences of the people it recognizes, making the message resonate more strongly.
Transitions between sections feel natural yet dynamic. Every added element—whether a subtle effect or a shift in guitar tone—creates just enough variation to keep the ear engaged. The song never loses its raw energy, and that consistency is part of its charm. By the end, Unknown Soldiers leaves you with admiration for the musical craft and respect for the theme it carries.
The Higher Desires have created a piece that connects rock traditions with heartfelt tribute, showing that sincerity still matters in music.
