Coronary heart Assault Man information us observe by observe by the creation of their new album ‘Joyride The Pale Horse’, out now.
One Extra Tune (Imposter Syndrome)
“The unique thought for this tune spawned from an intrusive, recurring thought I’ve any time I write a tune — “What if that is it?” and after this tune I’ll by no means have the ability to write a great tune once more. It’s a sentiment completely rooted in insecurity, which feeds into the “imposter syndrome” undercurrent of the tune. It’s a story as previous as time for any artistic particular person. I additionally thought it will be humorous to have a tune referred to as “One Extra Tune” for if folks ever chanted that at a present, and it will be even funnier to open the album with “One Extra Tune.” We have now enjoyable right here.”
Finish Of The Gun
“In case you had been round for our earlier album “Freak Of Nature,” you’d be shocked, even perhaps incredulous, to listen to that the comply with up album would solely have one reference to firearms—however right here we’re. This can be a rather more summary use of that imagery, however in any occasion, this tune got here from the emotions of being severely fallacious in a needlessly public and bitter feud I used to be concerned in years in the past. It’s not enjoyable being fallacious, however typically all you are able to do is come clean with it, make peace, and write a tune with a banger key change about all of it. I’m if something a flawed particular person.”
Spit
“This tune was maybe essentially the most spontaneous of this album—simply write a riff; two verses, two choruses, no bridge. Don’t overthink it; simply take a stroll and don’t let your self come house till you’ve gotten lyrics which are significant and memorable. Forcing myself to stroll till a tune’s lyrics are accomplished has confirmed to be a really efficient software for me. I a lot favor it to sitting on an train bike—I believe the exterior stimulation helps me. I’m not a robotic in spite of everything.”
Lay Down And Die
“This tune is probably essentially the most heartfelt of the album. My neighbor and childhood buddy handed away a pair years in the past. He wasn’t a lot older than me, however all issues thought-about, it sadly didn’t come fully without warning, and this tune is my first journey into grieving that form of loss—I’ve misplaced folks earlier than, even some near my age, however none earlier than the place I’ve so many core childhood reminiscences with them. It’s unhappy, tragic, complicated, and even very irritating; however this tune is my grieving course of.”
Laughing With out Smiling
“It wouldn’t be a Coronary heart Assault Man album if we didn’t have a tune with an enormous fats tasty riff to remind everybody we’re skilled shredders now wouldn’t it? In a method, we really feel this tune single-handedly encapsulates and condenses our earlier album into one tune. It’s an ambiguous message to a anonymous muse about squandering life, potential, and power on issues that don’t actually matter; and maybe extra personally an inner pep discuss to get by the instances the place I would like some additional motivation.”
Name Of The Void
“I initially considered the concept behind this tune once I was searching an vintage retailer and I assumed to myself, “What if I simply broke the whole lot in right here?” I didn’t really contemplate it, however these sorts of ideas, very similar to occupied with crashing your automobile if you’re driving, are referred to as “the decision of the void,” and I assumed the concept of this performed into the theme of our album very appropriately. By way of my analysis, I used to be shocked to seek out that this phenomenon has not been touched on steadily in music, so this tune has an particularly enjoyable and distinctive factor occurring to me.”
Can’t Gradual Down
“The concept for this tune got here from the will to make a brief, quick tune. We hadn’t accomplished a tune with this drum beat earlier than, so it was actually recent and thrilling. The title is a nod to early Saves The Day. Thematically, it was impressed by the worry of lacking out on life and never realizing if the final time you see somebody would be the final time ever, contemplating we spend lengthy chunks of time away from house dwelling the life we do.”
One Good Purpose
“With this tune, I primarily wished to have a tune that experimented round with the meter of the components of the tune (I’m not a well-versed music principle man) and likewise make use of a non-lyrical vocal hook. We’ve by no means actually messed round with ooo’s and ahhh’s, so within the spirit of doing new issues we additionally added in cowbell for the primary time. Lyrically, it’s in an analogous vein of Name Of The Void—toying round with intrusive ideas and inner monologue—however this time within the context of discomfort in social settings reasonably than fully snapping in an vintage retailer.”
I’ll See You There
“The central theme of this tune is in methods the response to the decision of Finish Of The Gun—addressing the ambiguous, excellent protagonist with snark and disdain. It’s positively speaking shit on myself in a method, and meant to be a lesson in humility; however this time set towards the backdrop of speaking about hell and what occurs after dying.”
The Gallows
“The lyrics of this tune had been meant to be the simple, reassuring, pep discuss form of message we’ve dabbled in as a band. One thing of a welcome observe from the opposite aspect of wrestle. Numerous this album would possibly come off as extra melancholic speaking about dying a lot, so this was a method of referencing all of it in a extra uplifting mild—a reminder that there could be triumph within the dance with dying.”
Give up Whereas I’m Nonetheless Forward
“The principle spark of inspiration for this tune got here from a narrative I’d heard (however admittedly can’t keep in mind precisely the place I learn or noticed it) a few man who killed himself as a result of he was so blissful and his life was at an all time excessive, so he wished to finish all of it on prime, and keep away from ever feeling distress once more. Whether or not or not that is true, I don’t know, however that concept filtered into my thought course of for the tune and the way it might relate to the artistic course of—ought to I cease making music at a excessive level? It was additionally meant to be the penultimate observe as a result of there being one other tune after it goes towards the concept of quitting whereas I’m forward. It’s form of the sister tune to One Extra Tune now that I give it some thought.”
Joyride The Pale Horse
“The ultimate observe. The title observe. Fittingly sufficient, this tune’s origins really began out on the chopping block of our final report. It was an concept that wasn’t prepared but, and subsequently wasn’t totally fleshed out. After a while, and contemplating how the bottom thought had caught with me, it made sense to revisit the unique thought and have it’s one of many beginning concepts for the album. This one form of sums all of it up and is an enormous homage to my acute consciousness of dying, with out outright saying it or calling it by identify. It’s the place the album began taking thematic form for me, which is why it’s the title observe, and I dunno, it simply felt like a great nearer from the start.”
