Kilravock: Steven Wayne Smith – New Music Release: Paranoid / General Malaise Cover 🎸
Thank you for your support during the artist’s previous release Tyranny Of The Clock. The artist is writing you today to let you know that on August 13th, 2025, the artist released a new single featuring a cover of the song Paranoid from the artist’s favorite band, Black Sabbath.
This album cycle the artist is working to release a full length Just Another Wonderful Day, and the artist has been recording cover songs as b-sides to go with songs the artist has been releasing as singles. Paranoid wasn’t even on the list but fortunately Geezer Butler’s lyrics of depression and alienation are thought to fit well with the original composition the artist has included from that upcoming album General Malaise. A slower organ laden track that is thought to pair well with the fast, punkier gallop of Paranoid.
You can check out this release over at the artist’s website KilravockMusic.com and there are links available to most major streaming platforms.
Release Credits:
Steven Wayne Smith – Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Production. Additionally, Bass VI on Paranoid and Organ and Songwriting on General Malaise

Song’s review
Kilravock – “Paranoid / General Malaise” 🎶
From the opening moments, Kilravock‘s “Paranoid / General Malaise “delivers a raw, electrifying rock experience. Gritti guitar refers to entertainment with driving drums, creating a stress that coincides with the restless energy of the song. Dual tracks balance the chaos and melody, carrying the listener on a trip through anxiety, frustration, and reflection. Each vocal nuance is deliberately felt, in-depth, and adding personality to performance. This is a track that pulls you with your unfiltered intensity while surprisingly maintained the polish sound.
Beyond its sound power, the themes of the song resonate deeply. Kilravock examines internal turmoil and feelings of social pressure with a subtle sophistication that keeps the listener busy. Production highlights the skills of the band without overproving the raw spirit in the heart of music. Paranoid / General Malaise is a standout rock release – bold, gripping, and unforgettable. Fans of contemporary rock will find themselves returning to this track again and again.
