Sacramento alternative metal outfit Will Haven have announced a July 07th release date for their forthcoming new album “VII“. Recording sessions for that outing took place at Pus Cavern Studios in their aforementioned hometown, with the band themselves overseeing production duties alongside Joe Johnston (Deftones, Dance Gavin Dance).
The song “5 Of Fire” was recently shared as the album’s latest single and a music video for it directed by David Owen Blackley has newly gone up online. Speaking of this latest track, guitarist Jeff Irwin offered:
“‘5 Of Fire‘ is to me the blueprint for this record; it’s heavy, chaotic, with different moods and tempo changes. We wanted to challenge ourselves by writing live in real time, and this song was the one to set that off. I love how it came out and I find myself going back and listening to it over and over again. I still find something new every time I listen.”
He also spoke of the album itself:
“We began working on songs right before Covid hit, so we spent those years just messing around with ideas, riffs, and arrangements. The creation of this record was a bit of a process, but it gave us an escape from everything else going on in the world.
To this day, I am still trying to wrap my head around this record. It’s heavy, chaotic, mellow, beautiful, and dark. It’s more of an art piece than your normal standard songs, and that’s exactly what we wanted. I love hearing it in its entirety and am looking forward to performing all of the songs. It’s even more of a journey when you hear it live.”
