Michigan progressive metal band Black Note Graffiti are sharing their new track “The Source,” from their upcoming full-length album Resist The Divide.
Listen to the track here:
The band share their thoughts:
“The Source is a composition that underscores the subjugation an individual may endure when entangled in self-destructive tendencies. Terms such as ‘crawl’ and ‘kill’ are employed to metaphorically represent the perpetual and consuming cycle of addiction. Despite cognizance of the repercussions, it becomes apparent that the weight of one’s struggles is overwhelming, leading them to seek solace in the very thing causing their destruction. The concluding lyric, ‘Waking up to nothing real,’ conveys the aftermath of sobriety, where reality feels elusive and intangible.”
Resist The Divide will be released on October 25. The album will be produced by the celebrated producer Josh Schroder.
Producer Josh Schroder shares his thoughts:
“I had a blast working with Black Note Graffiti. Every member brings their own passion and personality to the record, and one of the many things I love about my job as a producer is to make sure those creative voices all work in tandem in the final mix. Too often, ‘producers’ favor the conveniences of modern recording techniques over getting something done right that truly represents the band. It’s not an accident that Black Note Graffiti’s best record is the one that sounds the most like them. Every band member knows exactly how much, and (often more important) how little to play to give their music phenomenal power and dynamics. Gabby is an absolute powerhouse of a vocalist. All they need now is the right opportunity to show the rest of the world what they can do because Black Note Graffiti has everything else primed for tremendous success.”
