Progressive deathcore group Our Common Collapse‘s new single “Invertebrate” has received its online premiere. Earlier this week, the band were announced as the newest signing to Periphery‘s 3DOT Recordings label. Periphery themselves proclaimed the band as the heaviest artist they’ve signed yet.
Below you can give the freshly unveiled Austin Scherzberg-directed music video for the aforementioned track a watch. Our Common Collapse guitarist/producer Elliot Merriman also weighed in on this first new song in several years:
“Lyrically, ‘Invertebrate’ is more direct than much of our previous work. Rather than leaning too far into surrealism and ambiguity, it explores the spineless people who exploit those around them, always looking to take more than they’re willing to give, and the lasting impact they can have on a person’s sense of self and autonomy. While rooted in personal experiences, the themes are meant to resonate on a broader level.”
Merriman continued:
“We’ve spent a long time writing and refining this new material and we can’t wait for everyone to hear a more evolved, fully realized version of the band. Every decision from the songwriting to the production was made with the intention of pushing our sound further while staying true to the music we enjoy listening to and creating. This is only the beginning of what we’ve been working on.”
