Monitor Premiere: Recurrence – “Keep in mind Who the Enemy Is”


Recurrence – Keep in mind Who The Enemy Is

When melodic dying steel, metalcore, and groove collide, you get the sharpened metal of Recurrence—and their new single, “Keep in mind Who The Enemy Is,” drives that time straight into your chest.

Premiering as we speak completely through Decibel, the Independence, Kentucky-based wrecking crew unveils the primary style of their upcoming sophomore full-length, Artwork of Survival, due out November 5 through YYMBR Data. Recurrence didn’t maintain again on this one, teaming with award-winning video director Scott Hansen (Meshuggah, Sevendust) and enlisting Soilwork frontman Björn “Pace” Strid for visitor vocals on a high-octane observe that doubles as a rallying cry.

Set in a post-collapse dystopia, the video attracts heavy inspiration from The Starvation Video games—not simply in visuals however in ethos. Energy by means of struggling. Defiance by means of artwork. The band constructed their very own set from scratch to seize that rigidity. “We selected this music as our first single as a result of it captured the themes of the album completely,” says frontman Alex “The Antidote” Bastiat. “Scott and his workforce went with our imaginative and prescient and constructed a complete set from scratch. It turned out even higher than we may have imagined!”

Musically, it’s all killer—tight riffs, pummeling breakdowns, digital accents, and a refrain engineered to remain lodged in your cranium. If debut album The Exit was the opening salvo, Artwork of Survival is warfare doctrine. With a stacked visitor record together with members of Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, The Duskfall, and extra, the band is clearly aiming larger, heavier, and extra cinematic.

Hit play beneath and bear in mind who the enemy is.
