Gravemind collaborated with composer Mick Gordon on their newly released single, “Failstate“. Gordon is renowned for his work scoring several video games, most notably the 2016 reboot of the ‘Doom‘ franchise. The Australian deathcore outfit will have this song featured on their new album “Introsphere“, due out this Friday, August 02nd on Greyscale Records.
Gravemind commented of this thematic follow-up to the “Introsphere” track “Aloy“:
“It only seemed fitting to team up with the legendary Mick Gordon to unleash a violent soundscape for your listening pleasure. Thematically following on from prior single ‘Aloy‘, ‘Failstate‘ explores themes of perseverance and rebirth, and is a brutal assault on the senses. The lyrics depict a relentless cycle of struggle and renewal, with strong references to our love for the Souls-Borne franchise. The title itself, symbolises the inevitable failure that we cannot overcome, emphasising the enduring quest for triumph.”
Gordon isn’t the only guest lined up for “Introsphere“. Code Orange‘s Reba Meyers guests on the track “Anhedonia“, while Jamie Hails of Polaris appears on the previously released “F.E.A.R.“.
