Mixing blazing sonics with the classic sound of NWOBHM that’s aligned with tinges of U.S. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, the SAMA (Scottish Alternative Metal Awards) nominated group will release its new 10track album “Hush”, on May 27th via Wormholedeath.
About “Hush”: “We’ve always had a natural attraction to the darker, more ominous sounds in music and we really leaned into that when we were writing ‘Hush’. We wrote and demoed all the songs for over two and a half years before finally going to Italy and recording it with our engineer, at Titans LAB Recording Studio, in September 2020.
This album is like a book of short stories. Not a concept album but each song tells it’s own individual tale. Musically we take cues from many genres and many artists, but our writing is also heavily influenced by other media such as Horror film, comic books and video games.”
Thematically thealbum deals with how we deal with mental health as individuals and how society perceives it as well as interferes with it. Self sabotage, the self destructive society that we live in, sleep deprivation, religion being used as a form of manipulation, as well as personality disorders.
The poignant lyrics are married to heavy yet melodic soundscapes that are shaped around songs filled with gripping hooks and vocals that effortlessly switch from light to shade throughout this 10 song, red hot, heavy metal nirvana.
