Ascending above a multitude of challenges that the past few years have spewed up, last month, Bleed From Within officially launched the most extraordinary chapter of their career, revealing that new studio album 'Shrine' will be released on June 3rd. Stunning first tracks 'I Am Damnation' and 'Levitate' have forcefully staked their intent, cementing their place as one of the most exciting prospects in modern metal.
Today, the Scottish 5-piece have raised the stakes again, delivering a devastating third single, 'Stand Down'. Acerbic and indignant, the track lashes out at the injustice of the last few years, and those spreading lies. It's a call to arms, and a groove-metal masterpiece.
Ali Richardson stated,
"Stand Down addresses the conflict that we've seen so much of over the last 18 months. Being locked in the house and having to watch these tragedies unfold on the screen in front of me, I couldn't help but feel hopeless and sickened by the actions of those responsible. We are battling with that rage throughout the start of the song then by the time we reach the end, we are reflecting upon the possibility of more violence and asking if society has really learnt anything from its past mistakes. I'm sure most people reading this have felt the same anger and frustration in recent history. This song is for you."
