The Scottish 5-piece have shared the third single, ‘Stand Down’ taken from their new studio album ‘Shrine’ due the 3rd of June via Nuclear Blast.
Drummer Ali Richardson stated:
“Stand Down addresses the conflict that we’ve seen so much of over the last 18 months. Being locked in the house and having to watch these tragedies unfold on the screen in front of me, I couldn’t help but feel hopeless and sickened by the actions of those responsible. We are battling with that rage throughout the start of the song then by the time we reach the end, we are reflecting upon the possibility of more violence and asking if society has really learnt anything from its past mistakes. I’m sure most people reading this have felt the same anger and frustration in recent history. This song is for you.”
The band let the violence reign with the brutal riffing throughout the track and Scott Kennedy delivers some full on throat murder. The music has a heavy groove to it and the guys take it up a notch with the added strings. If the band haven’t won you over with their previous tracks, then this one will.
