Now as they embark on their first US tour, the quintet have shared a new track called\u00a0<em>&#8216;Puncture Wounds to Heaven&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It sees\u00a0<strong>Casey<\/strong> in fine form. Its urgent start gives way to a succulent melodic number that erupts in its later stages.\u00a0<em> &#8216;Puncture Wounds to Heaven&#8217;<\/em> is also the first single from the band&#8217;s yet-to-be-announced third album, which is expected to be released through\u00a0<strong>Hassle Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The track also sets out the core theme of the upcoming, as vocalist Tom Weaver explained;\u00a0<em>&#8220;&#8216;Puncture Wounds to Heaven&#8217; centres\u00a0around the themes of apathy and the guilt that can arise as a result. The \u201ccoming up for air\u201d sensation as you briefly snap out of a depressive episode, and survey how life has progressed around you. This is a core theme that carries throughout the new record, and musically the dichotomy between the smooth verses and the chaotic middle 8 really demonstrated that in a visceral way for us.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Casey<\/strong>&#8216;s frontman also said the band&#8217;s third album is <em>&#8220;vocally (and musically) the most ambitious we&#8217;ve ever been, but still feels quintessentially <strong>Casey<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Casey - Puncture Wounds to Heaven (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Yh16Bqw2uGA?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\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8216;Puncture Wounds to Heaven&#8217; <\/em>Lyrics<\/h2>\n<p>I barely notice as you pick up all the pieces.<br \/>\nHow long have I been like this?<\/p>\n<p>You must be tired, and I\u2019m still trying to find the words to compensate for how vacant I\u2019ve been today.
