A way to compare past with present and past with further past. It was surreal to perform those same songs and so many others across our career over the course of three nights at the historic Union Chapel. It was equally as intense as it was healing and I gratefully believe these recordings faithfully represent the air of that balancing act in the chapel that night.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.manchesterorchestra.com\/unionchapel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fans can pre-order &#8216;<i>Union Chapel, London, England&#8217;<\/i>\u00a0here<\/a>.

After this song came together during the early stages of writing, I felt a huge sense of relief knowing that we had achieved our best song to date,&#8221;<\/em> shared\u00a0<strong>Sylosis<\/strong> guitatist\/vocalist Josh Middleton. <em>&#8220;I couldn\u2019t get the chorus out of my head and that\u2019s usually a good sign. Once we had this song under our belts we knew this album would a big step up in terms of our writing abilities.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Musically, it calls back to some of the darker melancholic sounds from &#8216;Edge of the Earth&#8217; or even &#8216;The Supreme Oppressor&#8217; but with a ton of heavy riffs in there. Lyrically, this song is about facing your own mortality and health anxiety. I think a lot of people can relate to spiralling out of control when they think something\u2019s wrong and how differently you look at your life, and what matters most when confronted with those intrusive thoughts.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It follows last week&#8217;s news that saw <strong>Heaven Shall Burn<\/strong>, <strong>The Black Dahlia Murder<\/strong>, and <strong>Frozen Soul<\/strong> be announced as for\u00a0<em>&#8216;The New Flesh&#8217;<\/em>s album release show on February 20th.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"SYLOSIS - Lacerations (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cT0wQp5E6cE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"tigers-jaw-primary-colors\">Hear Tigers Jaw&#8217;s New Single (&#8216;Primary Colors&#8217;)<\/h2>\n<p>Even though\u00a0<em>&#8216;Lost on You&#8217; <\/em>isn&#8217;t released until March 27th, that hasn&#8217;t stopped <strong>Tigers Jaw<\/strong> from sharing another preview of their new album.

However, Lynsey Ward\u2019s arresting vocals firmly remain, resulting in a track with rich, sonic depth.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, the track leans into\u00a0<em>&#8220;paranoia, conspiracy theories and confirmation bias&#8221;<\/em>. Ward expands by commenting, <em>&#8220;It is written from the perspective of someone who has lost touch with reality, seeing patterns in their day-to-day life that are leading them to some answer, or a warning &#8211; but never quite getting the full picture of what it could all mean. Thematically, the song was drawn from personal experience in childhood, where a few coincidences with numbers could spiral into a feeling of being \u2018followed\u2019 by a number or symbol, and like the storyline of the rest of your life was being written with this at the centre, or as a clue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cConspiracy theories are more rife than ever, especially after spreading like wildfire during the pandemic. We wanted to present this as a sympathetic look at how something so simple can go so wrong, and where that desperation can lead; a state of anxiety, isolation, and losing touch with the world around you. The great irony is that, to some degree, we have now become the people in the story.
