The New Jersey deathcore dealers return with one of their heaviest, and most personal tracks as they prepare for the release of their first album in three years.And it’s accompanied by a suitably blood-soaked video with leaves nothing to the imagination in relation to the subject it addresses:
The song is fuelled by vocalist/lyricist Will Ramos’ raw feelings about his family’s history with dementia and the toll it takes on the person and those around them. The frontman told us:
This song is exactly what I imagine a lot of people expected of us to put out. We took all the heaviest stuff we had to create this incredibly dark, high-stress/tension song. I personally think the breakdown at the end of this is one of my favourites that we’ve ever written and I’m excited to see how people engage with this one.
Ramos adds:
The lyrics for this song are about my family and our history of dementia. The idea that the world is falling apart, and about the fear of losing touch with reality. “They’re coming to get me” is my way of personifying ‘demons’ or something that makes you feel like you’re losing pieces of yourself. The closer they get, the further detached you become until you’re nothing but a husk of fear and delusion.
‘Prison Of Flesh’ is third single to be taken from Lorna Shore’s upcoming fifth album, ‘I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me‘, which will be released on 12 September via Century Media.
