The North Carolina doomsters are stripping everything back to the #Bones with this third single from their upcoming sophomore album, which in turn is due to hit our death decks at the end of next month:

Guitarist/vocalist Thad Collis had this to say about the track:

’Bones’ is a very personal song for me, but I think its lyrics can resonate with anyone. I’ve always appreciated art that allows people to derive their own meaning from it. That being said, it’s basically about being haunted by the ghosts of your past, especially if you refuse to face them. Musically, I think it showcases some of our best qualities as a band, and as individual songwriters.

We like to write catchy riffs and grooves that make people wanna move, and I think we accomplished that with this song. Even if you don’t care what it means, you can headbang to it and it might get stuck in your head — just like those ghosts.

Speaking about the album as a whole, the frontman added:

‘Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned’ is an album we poured our hearts into.

With our sophomore LP, we aimed to elevate our sound to a new level while also drawing inspiration from the roots of doom, with a touch of 90s angst. Lyrically, it touches on everything from standing up to tyranny to revenge, sacrifice, love, lust, and betrayal — all wrapped in themes of horror, science fiction, and history.

For the best listening experience: light one up, and turn it up loud.
