A new era is beginning for The Word Alive, and based on this new track, it will be thrilling.
The Word Alive are back with their first new music in over a year.
It’s called ‘Nocturnal Future’ and feels like a culmination of everything that the band have represented over the last decade.
Atmospheric, dramatic and drenched in drama, all held together by jolts of heaviness, it is an exciting first piece of a new puzzle from the band.
Vocalist Telle Smith had this to say about it:
“‘Nocturnal Future’ is meant to be unexpected, and from the moment it starts I think you feel a new energy in the music we haven’t captured before. I wanted to encapsulate all of the things our fans have loved into one song, intricate guitars, flashy yet tasteful drums, meaningful lyrics and melodies you’ll want to sing along too.
Lyrically, it’s a call to each of us to try to do more in a world seemingly hell-bent on destroying itself. By the end of the song, we want you to have pictured yourself at our show losing your mind, hopefully we’ll see you soon!”
