Windwaker are back with another bonus cut from the deluxe edition of their sophomore album “HYPERVIOLENCE“. That expanded version, dubbed the “HYPERVIOLENCE: Expansion Pack“, will be out on February 14th through Civilians/Fearless Records. “Arcane” is the latest new cut to be released ahead of time. Liam Guinane, vocalist for the Australian metalcore band, commented:
“‘Arcane‘ encapsulates the emotions and inner battles when faced with moments of uncertain change. Written early on in my journey joining as Windwaker‘s vocalist, the song explores the push and pull of self-doubt and determination, resulting in an anthemic track embracing the weight of new beginnings and forging a path forward.”
Andrew Vaughan directed the below music video for the song.
