Christian metalcore group Wolves At The Gate have chosen “Wasteland” because the title for his or her sixth studio album. Stable State Data will likely be placing out that album on Could thirtieth. 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 music:
“All through the entire album, we’re exploring totally different ideas by means of the lens of a broader narrative and story. With ‘Parasite,’ we needed to jot down a music 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 would like and one thing that we’re getting out of it. We will say that we hate it as a lot as we would like, however there’s something engaging about it. It’s a music basically concerning the madness of sin. The very factor that we crave is the very factor that hates us and desires 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 one million deaths to stay.’ That’s the image that I see of my very own sinfulness. I selected to dive into issues that I knew would end in one million deaths considering that it will give me life and no matter what number of instances I noticed how shallow and empty it was, I nonetheless chased after it. This music is a lament of a actuality that I do know all too nicely. And so I needed to jot down a music that may shine a brilliant mild on it for me to keep in mind that sin is an empty promise that leaves you hole ultimately. The identical approach a parasite feeds on you till you haven’t any life left to offer.”
Cobucci co-produced the album alongside Spiritbox‘s Josh Gilbert and mentioned of the imaginative and prescient for the outing:
“As I used to be engaged on the album and particularly the lyrics, I started to understand that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a way of thinking that I don’t wish to stay in, however a world I really feel myself drawn again into over and over. “I hate it. It’s a world of empty guarantees. It’s a mirage. A counterfeit.”
