With the release of his new music video “Drug Dealer”, Dmitri Zouchinski unapologetically drags us back into the flannel-soaked, distortion-heavy world of 1990s grunge. But this isn't mere nostalgia. Zouchinski injects real-life pain into every riff and raspy vocal, drawing directly from a personal encounter with a drug dealer that left a lasting mark. The result is a track brimming with raw emotion, unfiltered storytelling, and authentic grit.
The song opens with sludgy, fuzz-laden guitar tones and a pulsing rhythm section that immediately calls to mind early Nirvana or Soundgarden. But what sets “Drug Dealer” apart is its unrefined emotional core. Zouchinski isn’t hiding behind metaphor or abstraction he’s reliving trauma in real-time, and that honesty seeps through every note. His voice cracks and claws with conviction, making the pain not just heard, but felt.
Perfectly complements the track’s gritty narrative with lo-fi aesthetics and shadowy visuals. It's a no-frills, no-filters presentation just like the song itself.
For grunge lovers hungry for something real, “Drug Dealer” is a visceral return to a genre that never cared for polish. Zouchinski might just be grunge’s newest torchbearer, and he’s lighting it with truth.
