Australian ‘cinema-core’ band The Gloom In The Corner have announced an October 28th release date for their sophomore album “Trinity“. Several notable guests from the metalcore scene will be joining the ‘cast’ of that record, including:
- Ryan Kirby (Fit For a King)
- Joe Badolato (Fit For An Autopsy)
- Laruen Babic (Red Handed Denial)
- Ellijah Witt (Cane Hill)
- Ryo Kinoshita (Crystal Lake)
- Taylor Barber (Left To Suffer)
- Monica Strut (The Last Martyr)
- Monique Pym (Reliqa)
SharpTone Records have picked up the band for this new album and have launched pre-orders for it here. Meanwhile, a new single by the name of “Ronin” featuring a guest spot from Crystal Lake‘s Ryo Kinoshita has launched online, with a video for it available below.
The Gloom In The Corner vocalist Mikey Arthur commented of the concept heavy track and album:
“‘Ronin‘, from a lore perspective, re-introduces ‘Homecoming‘ protagonist Ethan Hardy after his death at the end of that EP. Upon donning a new suit of armor, known as the ‘Black Cloud’, he pushes his emotions deep inside, channeling them into a display of violence. Hardy wreaks havoc across Hell under no command but his own, earning the name of ‘The Ronin’. The redux of both the ‘Witch Hunt’ and ‘Rodent’ breakdown not only serves as an Easter egg for old fans, but continues the story begun in ‘Homecoming’ with more brutality and gore.”
“As always, the track serves as an analogy, albeit a tragic one. Despite how much you may ask for help, or that people can see that you’re in pain, you’re on your own and the only one who can fix you is you. ‘Ronin‘ is an angry, relentless tirade that, in short says; ‘I came to you when I needed help after you said that you would, and you sat back and did nothing. Go fuck yourself.’”
If you’re well-versed with the band’s evolving story arc, the following breakdown of the track was also provided:
“Ethan Hardy’s descent to the Rabbit Hole was an unorthodox event; standing before the Panel of Judgement after his suicide, he forced his way into the Rabbit Hole without the approved sentencing of the Panel, determined to seek out Rachel and find a way back to the Mortal Realm once she had been found. Going against the approval of the Panel, Ethan became a High-Value Target for the Keepers, becoming hunted by both demon-kind and the Judges in his quest in the Rabbit Hole.
At first, the Panel were determined to retrieve him to face proper sentencing, but after violently terminating multiple Keepers, he became marked for permanent termination by the Panel. Demons and Keepers were no match for him however, and Ethan’s quest turned to a bloody and barbaric crusade, decimating those who stood in his way without hesitation.
After a near-death battle, Ethan was sought out by the Narrator, who guided him to an ancient set of mystical armour, the armour of Sherlock Bones from his time in the First Reign under King Baphicho, the “Black Cloud”. After altering and modernising the armour to suit his needs, Ethan set back out on his quest, becoming even more violent and bloody than before, where he earned the name “Ronin” from those who both feared and hunted him. After some time, he found Rachel after the guidance of The Narrator.”
