Canadian hardcore heavyweights Comeback Kid return with their anticipated, seventh studio album, Heavy Steps, available now via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the album release, Comeback Kid have unveiled a high-energy, live performance video directed by Dylan Gould for the focus track “Face the Fire.”
In regards to their latest video, lead vocalist Andrew Neufeld shared: “We were finally able to operate as a band again and tour over the last five months, and this new video, “Face The Fire,” is a collection of footage and photos that I collected over that time. It is an accurate reflection of what our live shows encompass and that specific energy that we have missed so much.”
Featuring the band’s first, riff-heavy single “No Easy Way Out,” the tone-setting dynamic title track with punishing bass lines, masterful drumming, and an infectious singalong chorus (“Heavy Steps”), and the no-frills metallic hardcore banger “Crossed,” Heavy Steps embodies all the things that make Comeback Kid so revered in their genre. The record is fast, fun, beautifully crafted melodic hardcore. Heavy Steps, which follows the hardcore veteran’s 2017’s critically acclaimed full-length Outsider, sees the band returning to their roots both geographically and musically.
Featuring guest appearances such as, Gojira’s Joe Duplantier, Heavy Steps is no longer a prerequisite to realizing Comeback Kid’s influence on modern punk, but a delivery of pure anthemic chaos, sheer speed, and force. It is a statement of intent.
