Helping usher in today’s release of Foreign Hands‘ new album “What’s Left Unsaid” is the below official music video for the track, “Shapeless In The Dark“. The Wilmington, DE-based metalcore enlisted the services of GRAMMY Award-winning producer Will Putney (of Fit For An Autopsy, Better Lovers, etc.) to produce that record.
The band commented:
“‘Shapeless In The Dark‘ is the amalgamation of our farther reaching influences. This track carries a more ‘theatric’ pace and was the result of a very experimental writing process. It carries some borrowed essences all the way from Crosses to Failure, who happened to be two artists we had on repeat at the time. We all poured lots of hard work into making this song a fully-realized entity through our own lens, and are pleased to offer it as our final single in tandem with the release of our debut LP, What’s Left Unsaid.
‘I have always found my awareness of suffering more painful than the suffering itself’ is a quote at the end of the song by Fernando Pessoa, and it explains the lyrics of ‘Shapeless In The Dark’ perfectly. It’s an existential crisis turned inside out. It’s the sum of the crippling anxiety that occurs when you’re too self-aware of your existence and surroundings.
Personally, this has been an internal battle for as long as I can remember. The lyrics are purposefully dry and poetic, contradictory and consistent. It takes everything you may or may not be aware of and forces you to uncomfortably sit with it.”
They’ll be out promoting the record next month, mostly as direct support on a North American leg of Misery Signals‘ farewell tour. Trench will also be on that run.
