The hardcore heavyweights, who have just hit the road in support of Paleface Swiss, #BiteDown hard as they unleash the first music to feature new frontman Tony Evans:

Say the band:

‘Bite Down’ is a song about the pain of doing whatever it takes to achieve the necessary outcome, locating the strength in your heart to face sheer adversity through gritted teeth and make it happen at all costs. Working through real pain, hitting the wall and smashing it down regardless of how awful it may feel. Those times where you’ve ground yourself down to the bone in relentless determination and have no choice but to push on. Breaking through physical and mental boundaries in the never ending struggle that is life.

This song is a musical projection of the anguish felt by us all in that moment when we think we have nothing left to give, but we dig deeper. For anyone familiar with that place, this song speaks a clear message – nothing comes from giving up. Keep fighting. Bite Down.
