Smiling Man - “RIP”: A Grunge Prayer for the Broken and Brave

Let’s get real for a second: life hits you hard sometimes. And when it does, music like Smiling Man’s “RIP” is what you need to keep going. This Swedish post-grunge band just dropped their latest single, and it’s one of those raw, quiet-yet-loud moments that stick with you.
RIP isn’t about screaming into the void, it’s about whispering through the cracks. It’s about pushing forward when your legs feel like concrete and your heart feels like it’s been played by someone else’s hands. The lyrics are sparse, but every word counts. Especially that line:
“Yeah, I’m not Dio, but I’m a fan and I can go on.”
That? That’s the kind of humility we don’t hear enough in metal. It’s a tribute to Ronnie James Dio, sure but it’s also a nod to anyone who’s ever kept going when everything felt broken.
Formed in Sweden, Smiling Man take the soul of 90s grunge (Soundgarden , Alice in Chains , Nirvana) and make it their own. Think heavy riffs, smoky vocals, and a vibe that says, “I’m tired, but I won’t stop.”
If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 3am wondering if you’re alone in this mess, RIP will hit you where it hurts and maybe help you heal a little too.
Check them out:
Honestly, I love songs that don’t try to be epic, they just are . RIP doesn’t need fireworks or showy solos. It needs you to listen. To feel. To remember that even in the silence, there’s strength.
So crank it up. Let it hurt. Let it heal.
