Ether Coven (Remembering Never) have unveiled the song “Of Might & Failure” as the second single from their upcoming new album “The Relationship Between The Hammer And The Nail“. Shane Post, vocalist of metalcore outfit Bird Of Ill Omen & Fistula fame guests on this particular track.
Peter “Mean Pete” Kowalsky commented of the song:
“This song touches on a few parts of the prison industrial complex; The exploitative nature of using prisoners for labor while paying them next to nothing, killing their opportunities upon release (voting, housing, etc), the history of experimentation of prisoners, the sexual assault that happens in prison (notably from prison admins), cops brutalizing suspects (and the racist history of police.) America is a legalized racket and this is just another arm of it.
Coming from the South Florida hardcore scene, we’ve had a wild array of influences. One of our favorite bands from the area is Bird of Ill Omen. At some point we became casual acquaintances with Shane (from Bird and now Fistula) and it turns out he was a fan of Ether, so it only made sense we asked him to drop some lines and it’s really something incredible. Shane‘s voice is absolutely disgusting and it shows on this song. This was a true childhood dream come true.”
