To help celebrate today’s release of their brand new album Pressure, emerging metalcore outfit Wage War has just debuted a new music video for their track “Grave.”
Talking about the experimental new song, guitarist/co-vocalist Cody Quistad said, “It’s a song where we decided to step out of our normal boundaries. We’re a notoriously heavy band, but we made a song that still harnesses the heavier elements, yet has this chanty chorus – and musically it’s got more electronic elements to it as well. We really just tried to make something different, and in the end of the recording process, we listened back to the songs and felt really good about that one, so we decided to give it some special attention.”
Diving into the track’s subject matter, Quistad added, “Obviously it’s an extreme, but it’s about being caught up in a toxic cycle with people, and eventually, you just have to let them out of your life. That’s kind of what the song is about, that rest-in-peace of that friendship, relationship or whatever that toxic thing is. It’s just part of growing up. Your friends are fewer, but they’re better.”
