For now, the band have simply launched a brief movie/music video for the lead single “PARASITE“, which you’ll take a look at beneath. Vocalist/guitarist Steve Cobucci chimed in of that track:
“All through the entire album, we’re exploring totally different ideas via the lens of a broader narrative and story. With ‘Parasite,’ we wished to jot down a track that explores the connection between a parasite and its host. It’s such a robust metaphor for the way in which that all of us relate with our personal weaknesses, tendencies, and sin.
There’s a way wherein we hate the way in which that we proceed to return down the identical darkish paths, however we solely stroll these paths as a result of there’s something we wish and one thing that we’re getting out of it. We are able to say that we hate it as a lot as we wish, however there’s something attractive about it. It’s a track basically in regards to the madness of sin. The very factor that we crave is the very factor that hates us and needs to kill us. Chasing after sin is a bottomless pit. All the time promising however by no means satisfying.”
The refrain line captures that concept saying, ‘And I died 1,000,000 deaths to dwell.’ That’s the image that I see of my very own sinfulness. I selected to dive into issues that I knew would end in 1,000,000 deaths considering that it might give me life and no matter what number of instances I noticed how shallow and empty it was, I nonetheless chased after it. This track is a lament of a actuality that I do know all too effectively. And so I wished to jot down a track that might shine a vivid mild on it for me to keep in mind that sin is an empty promise that leaves you hole in the long run. The identical manner a parasite feeds on you till you haven’t any life left to provide.”
Cobucci co-produced the album alongside Spiritbox‘s Josh Gilbert and stated of the imaginative and prescient for the outing:
“As I used to be engaged on the album and particularly the lyrics, I started to comprehend that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a mind set that I don’t wish to dwell in, however a world I really feel myself drawn again into time and again. “I hate it. It’s a world of empty guarantees. It’s a mirage. A counterfeit.”
