Long.Way.Down
In a new conjunctive series with New Music Monday, from time to time we’ll be premiering some fantastic new music for you to listen to. This week we’ve teamed up with Zegema Beach Records to give you something deliciously heavy.
The absolute viciousness that is Long.Way.Down comes through immensely in their new single “"a:eulogy:in:essence", off of their brand new EP 'until there's nothing left...'. Since their last release, 2021’s split with Who Put Bella In The Witch Elm, the band has regrouped and pivoted with an even heavier, melodic twist on their previous sound. Intense bass lines with earth shattering drums wind and wheel with reckless abandon throughout with superbly shrieked, pit viper vocals complimenting an absolutely epic set of riffs . Emotional and undeniably heavy, while spewing catharsis, the track is an unrelenting and powerful four plus minutes of melodic destruction. In the bands own words:
"a:eulogy:in:essence" is the fourth track off of our upcoming EP, 'until there's nothing left...' Our aim with this song was to lean further into the sound of late 90's and early 2000's metalcore while still retaining elements of our screamo roots. It was inspired by the pummeling, yet melodic riffs and breakdowns of 7 Angels 7 Plagues and early Underoath, as well as the harsh vocal styles and melancholic clean sections of bands like Neil Perry and Love Lost But Not Forgotten.
'until there's nothing left...' releases March 13th through Zegema Beach Records on a beautiful set of swirled cassettes limited to 79 copies.
