Christian metalcore group Wolves At The Gate have chosen “Wasteland” because the title for his or her sixth studio album. Stable State Information will probably be placing out that album on Might thirtieth. For now, the band have simply launched a brief movie/music video for the lead single “PARASITE“, which you’ll be able to take a look at under. 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 needed to write down a track that explores the connection between a parasite and its host. It’s such a robust metaphor for the best way that all of us relate with our personal weaknesses, tendencies, and sin.
There’s a way during which we hate the best way 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 will say that we hate it as a lot as we wish, however there’s something attractive about it. It’s a track 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 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 lead to 1,000,000 deaths considering that it could give me life and no matter what number of occasions 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 needed to write down a track that may shine a brilliant 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 method 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 appreciate that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a state of mind 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.”
