River Black (ex-Burnt By The Sun, etc.) have debuted a new song titled “Jaws“. The track appears on the band’s self-titled full-length debut which will be released on July 07th. Vocalist Mike Olender commented:
“‘Jaws‘ is about the paternal instinct of human nature. When I started a family I came face to face with certain forces I had not encountered before, rooted in the instinct to protect my family from harm. It was so deep that I found that I had to protect myself from my own emotions. A graphic news story about child abuse or predators could haunt me for days.
I saw my sense of compassion and the need to understand why people do terrible things crumble with my acceptance of my own sin – wrath. This song is for the fathers and mothers who give of themselves selflessly to provide for their families, and it is dedicated to the victims of neglect and horrific abuse.”
