Chester Doom Releases the Epic “Not Far Behind” From CROWS GO HOME Album

Chester Doom is a rock & roll juggernaut that knows how to bring the house down! These lifelong musicians are on a mission to prove that rock & roll is alive and kicking harder than ever before by mixing equal parts punk rock attitude and Southern rock soul and drawing inspiration from the classic rock gods like Led Zeppelin, Rush, Guns N’ Roses, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as modern icons like Tool and Linkin Park.

Check out “Not Far Behind” on YouTube here:

Hailing from the rocky shores of Atlantic Canada, the band is fronted by powerhouse vocalist Josh Best, who can switch effortlessly between soulful ballads and face-melting anthems and has been hailed as one of Canada’s most promising rock vocalists, drawing comparisons to Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. He’s backed by the riff-tastic duo of rhythm guitarist Patrick Blackie and lead guitarist Kellan Menhennett, who never fail to get the crowd jumping. Keyboardist Dave Mackenzie adds an extra layer of sonic texture, while the rhythm section of brothers Glenn Arseneau on bass and Peter Arseneau on drums keep the beat pounding.

Best wrote “Not Far Behind” in the spring of 2022 while recovering from Covid-19 and being bombarded with news of the then-recent invasion of Ukraine. He was inspired both by the resiliency of the Ukrainian people and more generally by what the world had gone through in the previous two years with the global pandemic.

Step over the bodies

Dear please close your eyes, yeah

I swear that I’m not far behind

I’m not far behind
