Aussie metalcore group Melting are ramping up to the May 29th release of their new EP “A Pathetic Excuse For A Life” with the premiere of a brand new single from it, “The Sword“. It’s an abbreviated taste of that forthcoming record, sporting a runtime of just over a minute. Guitarist Alex Bertuna said of it:
“The EP as a whole tackles some very personal, dark and heavy topics for Xavier, but I wrote ‘The Sword‘ to be something of a ‘stop letting life happen to you’ kind of thing. Stop begging for guidance, figure it out yourself, hold the f*ckin sword.”
Summing up the EP a bit more as a whole, the band added:
“The way we see it – every song is pointed at a different kind of person that can make your life feel like hell. There’s an undertone of overcoming it running throughout though.”
