New Jersey nü-metallers 40 Below Summer are shedding light on their second new single in a decade, “Darkside“. This track and its predecessor, “King Ghidorah“, are part of a comeback the group have in store for this year, culminating in the release of their next studio album.
While full release details for that outing have yet to be cleared up, the band will be playing a 25th anniversary show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on October 11th. Two sets will take place that night, including a traditional performance with their current lineup, and a special set from their original roster.
The band’s camp said of this new single:
“With ‘Darkside‘, 40 Below Summer deliver one of their darkest and most emotionally charged songs to date. Mixing crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics, the track dives into themes of inner turmoil, mistrust, and the battle against one’s own demons.
The chorus — “So say hello from the darkside, this part of you that you cannot hide” — perfectly captures the song’s raw honesty and intensity.”
