Gasket‘s new single “Syndicate” has seen a release, complete with a video directed by Austin Gomez. It precedes the Baltimore, MD-based metallic hardcore group’s upcoming EP “Babylon“, which will be out on June 21st through Blue Grape Music. The band said of this upcoming collection of songs:
“This EP is the hardest we’ve ever worked on anything together. As simple as it may sound, it’s a culmination of all of our favorite bands. Lyrically, it’s a melting pot of experiences and feelings we’ve had for the past two years that we hope people can relate to. ‘Babylon‘ represents Gasket as a whole; it’s our escape from reality and we couldn’t be more grateful for it.”
As for today’s single, vocalist Joseph Zimmer stated that it’s, “about an old friend you wish you‘d never met. The embodiment of disappointment in realizing someone you loved and looked up to like a brother was not at all who you thought they were.”
