Australian alternative metalcore band Windwaker are readying their debut album “Love Language” for a May 06th release through Fearless Records. The band have chosen the song “Beautiful” as the lead single from that release, having just launched a music video for it online. Pre-orders for that 12-song outing are also now available here.
Speaking of the album, the band commented:
“The record sees themes of adolescence, identity, belonging, nostalgia, mindfulness, death, altered consciousness; displays typical traits of a concept album, but is left very much open-ended lyrically in its ambiguous, open-book type format. ‘Love Language‘ defines fear and love as fleeting moments, encouraging listeners to take an intuitive leap in all situations, confront themselves and their surroundings, never taking a moment presented for granted. In a balance of chaos vs. control, we manifest, and must take all things as they come, operating with the best intent. We are alive. We are breathing. We are fear and we are love.”
As for this first single from it, they added:
“‘Beautiful‘ paints an outline of the modern world. The good, the bad, the ugly. The left, the right. The saints, the criminals. The systematic zombies, the fearless. The overall subject of the song allows listeners to level shortly, before digesting the rest of the album, to consider how it would feel to be someone or something else in what is obviously very much a chaotic world to exist in right now. ‘Beautiful‘ boldly juxtaposes the reality of those of different socio-economic backgrounds based on circumstances relating to trauma, addiction, crime, and beyond.”
