The undisputed kings of metalcore are back with their first new piece of music since 2019, the blistering ‘Forever Aligned’, and it’s an absolute corker no fan of the genre can do without. Hard to believe it’s been five years since ‘Atonement’ kicked our asses left right and center, but not to worry, as Adam D and the boys rarely disappoint, and new album ‘This Consequence’, which drops February 21st via Metal Blade Records, is sure to make the genre relevant again.
“‘Forever Aligned’ is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God,” explains vocalist Jesse Leach. “It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity.”
Regarding the album, Leach continues, “‘This Consequence’, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album.”
He finishes, “I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honoured and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”
One of the defining metal bands of the 2000s, it’s hard to imagine the metallic landscape without them, and now with album number nine, things are finally looking up for a genre that has surely seen better days.
