Coronary heart Assault Man information us observe by observe by the creation of their new album ‘Joyride The Pale Horse’, out now.
One Extra Track (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 be capable to write a great tune once more. It’s a sentiment solely rooted in insecurity, which feeds into the “imposter syndrome” undercurrent of the tune. It’s a story as outdated as time for any inventive individual. I additionally thought it will be humorous to have a tune known as “One Extra Track” for if folks ever chanted that at a present, and it will be even funnier to open the album with “One Extra Track.” We’ve enjoyable right here.”
Finish Of The Gun
“When you had been round for our earlier album “Freak Of Nature,” you’d be stunned, maybe even incredulous, to listen to that the comply with up album would solely have one reference to firearms—however right here we’re. It is 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 generally 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 individual.”
Spit
“This tune was maybe probably 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 dwelling till you’ve lyrics which might be significant and memorable. Forcing myself to stroll till a tune’s lyrics are achieved has confirmed to be a really efficient software for me. I a lot want it to sitting on an train bike—I believe the exterior stimulation helps me. I’m not a robotic in any case.”
Lay Down And Die
“This tune is maybe probably the most heartfelt of the album. My neighbor and childhood good friend handed away a pair years in the past. He wasn’t a lot older than me, however all issues thought of, it sadly didn’t come utterly abruptly, and this tune is my first journey into grieving that type 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 recollections 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 a giant 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 vitality on issues that don’t actually matter; and maybe extra personally an inner pep speak to get by the occasions the place I want some further motivation.”
Name Of The Void
“I initially considered the concept behind this tune once I was shopping an vintage retailer and I believed to myself, “What if I simply broke all the pieces in right here?” I didn’t truly think about it, however these sorts of ideas, very similar to enthusiastic about crashing your automotive whenever you’re driving, are known as “the decision of the void,” and I believed the concept of this performed into the theme of our album very appropriately. By means of my analysis, I used to be stunned to seek out that this phenomenon has not been touched on continuously in music, so this tune has an particularly enjoyable and distinctive factor occurring to me.”
Can’t Gradual Down
“The thought for this tune got here from the will to make a brief, quick tune. We hadn’t achieved a tune with this drum beat earlier than, so it was actually contemporary and thrilling. The title is a nod to early Saves The Day. Thematically, it was impressed by the concern of lacking out on life and never understanding if the final time you see somebody would be the final time ever, contemplating we spend lengthy chunks of time away from dwelling residing the life we do.”
One Good Motive
“With this tune, I primarily needed to have a tune that experimented round with the meter of the components of the tune (I’m not a well-versed music concept 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 identical 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 somewhat than utterly 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, good 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 loss of life.”
The Gallows
“The lyrics of this tune had been meant to be the easy, reassuring, pep speak type of message we’ve dabbled in as a band. One thing of a welcome observe from the opposite facet of battle. A number of this album may come off as extra melancholic speaking about loss of life a lot, so this was a method of referencing all of it in a extra uplifting mild—a reminder that there may be triumph within the dance with loss of life.”
Stop 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 bear in mind precisely the place I learn or noticed it) a couple of man who killed himself as a result of he was so comfortable and his life was at an all time excessive, so he needed 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 may relate to the inventive 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 type of the sister tune to One Extra Track now that I give it some thought.”
Joyride The Pale Horse
“The ultimate observe. The title observe. Fittingly sufficient, this tune’s origins truly began out on the chopping block of our final document. It was an concept that wasn’t prepared but, and due to this fact 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 type of sums all of it up and is a giant homage to my acute consciousness of loss of life, 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.”
