Less than a month away from kicking off their Noise Presents US tour supporting Falling In Reverse and Escape The Fate, today metalcore veterans The Word Alive have shared some very exciting news.
Just announced this morning, coming February 21st via Fearless Records, the band will be releasing their highly anticipated follow up to 2018′s Violent Noise. Talking about the new 12-track album and its emotionally-lead title track “Monomania,” frontman Telle Smith said:
“With MONOMANIA, I wanted to capture the emotional roller coaster we go through as we continually kill our true selves battling the ‘madness’ we feel as we struggle with who we are, wondering at times if there’s any point to all of this. Sometimes, we’re so desperate to be heard that we get lost attempting to fit in or to stand out. It’s fucking hard learning what feels like hard lessons over and over. We fail to take ownership of our thoughts and actions, pulling us further away from facing who we are. You only really overcome that by trusting in yourself because that’s the only way you can break the cycle.”
Touching more on their upcoming release, Smith said, “When you listen to our new music, I hope you have a better understanding of our entire career. Maybe you can see the whole story and realize that we’re not different from you. We’ve been through it all, but we’re always trying to learn, grow, and leave something behind we feel will help people. This is our purest work. This is everything we’ve been through in the last couple of years. It’s the best conclusion of the last 10 years and the best opening to the next 10.”
