A Deep Dive into "Our Fates Lie In Tandem"
"Our Fates Lie In Tandem" represents a significant milestone for the Connecticut-based band, marking their first full-length album in nearly four years. According to vocalist Brian Wille, the new record is not only a sonic evolution but also their most introspective work to date. Wille elaborated on the album’s thematic depth, stating, "There’s some social commentary and a little bit of heartbreak too. I brought the wall down, so I could be more personal than ever before. ‘Our Fates Lie In Tandem’ is not heavy for the sake of being heavy either. We agreed a track doesn’t need to be ‘a walking breakdown’ in order to make an impact. So, you’re getting the lows, the highs, and everything in between. There’s a reason for each element and meaning behind every word."
This sentiment is echoed by the critical reception of the album’s lead single, "Retributioner." This preview of the 11-track album delves into the complex ramifications of adhering to one’s principles in a world that often incentivizes compromise. Revolver magazine lauded the track, including it in their "Best New Songs Right Now" feature and describing it as a four-plus-minute composition characterized by "darkly anthemic hooks and boulder-crushing breakdowns." Knotfest similarly recognized the significance of the release, labeling the album and single as marking "a pivotal new chapter for the genre veterans" and asserting that "the song asserts the band’s refined take on the genre with a track that shifts from expansive to explosive."
The production of "Our Fates Lie In Tandem" was helmed by CURRENTS guitarist Chris Wiseman, a key figure in the sonic architecture of their previous full-length releases. Further enhancing the album’s intricate soundscape, Ricky Armellino contributed additional production, while Jon Dolese, known for his work with prominent artists such as CHELSEA GRIN and CANE HILL, handled the mixing.
The band themselves have described the creation of "Our Fates Lie In Tandem" as a demanding, multi-year endeavor that pushed the boundaries of their established songwriting processes. "Putting this record together has been an intense, multi-year process that has challenged our existing framework of songwriting," the band shared. "We took no shortcuts in building these songs up to be the best and most cohesive of our career. While it wasn’t quick or easy to make this album, watching and participating in this project, from demos to the final masters, has been such a satisfying and cathartic experience."
"Our Fates Lie In Tandem" is being made available in various formats, including a selection of limited-edition vinyl variants, catering to the diverse preferences of their fanbase.
