The first taste of the album, ‘No Arms’, is out now and showcases how the band are delving into different sonic pools without ever losing any of their atmosphere or audacity. Pulling from the most chaotic and calloused parts of nu-metal’s underbelly, with plenty of gruelling riffs and frenzied howls, it is the sort of song that sucks you into its spiral and refuses to let go. Not content with conquering chaotic hardcore and gritty post-hardcore, it’s clear that the band are on route to take over every base that they can.
The band had this to say about the song:
“No Arms is about being without a way to protect yourself and what belongs to you. Being alone and afraid, not having any means to control the situations that befall on us. The overwhelming feeling of being helpless until we’re not. Until somebody saves us.”Â
