New Orleans crew\u00a0Cane Hill<\/strong> are back and ready to kick off a new era. It’s been six years since the quartet delivered a full-length album, however, it looks like a third record isn’t too far away. ‘The Midnight Sun’<\/em> is one of two new tracks\u00a0Cane Hill<\/strong> has unleashed in the past week, returning with plenty of vigour and bite.<\/p>\n

Executed with a heavy influence of post-hardcore and nu-metal,\u00a0‘The Midnight Sun’<\/em> is a bombastic assault with\u00a0Elijah Witt’s mix of soothing vocals and distorted screams being backed up by a versatile density. Guitarist Elijah Barnett, bassist Ryan Henriquez, and drummer Devin Clark demonstrate sonic urgency that grabs hold of you from the start.<\/p>\n

Lyrically, it maintains the personal nature that has threaded\u00a0Cane Hill<\/strong>‘s catalogue together. The opening of “Lost Hopeless and left out to rot, I\u2019ve been Forgotten and thrown in a Box,”<\/em> questionably sees Witt express how he views how the band has been treated in recent years. Yet the notion of being true to himself has allowed Witt to find some inner peace.<\/p>\n

“The Midnight Sun is about many different things, but most importantly, it’s about returning to who we really are,”<\/em> comments Cane Hill<\/strong>‘s vocalist. “It was the first song we wrote when we finally sat down to do an LP, and I think you can hear the profound resolution in our souls when you listen to it.” <\/em><\/p>\n
