Christian metalcore band Wolves At The Gate‘s next chapter has been announced. The group have just divulged the details for their next studio album “Borderland“, which serves as the thematic follow-up to their 2025 effort “Wasteland“. “Firewall” is the second song to make it out from that record overall, and a music video for it has just been put up.
Speaking as a whole, the group went on to say of this new song:
“Sometimes, the best way to confront the things that make us most uncomfortable is to express them through art. For us, ‘Firewall‘ deals with the uncomfortable realization that we can’t fix ourselves or erase the most broken parts of who we are. It’s about recognizing that the deepest struggles of our hearts can’t be resolved by looking inward or simply trying harder. Maybe our greatest hope is found in putting our trust in the hands of someone greater than ourselves.”
Vocalist/guitarist Steve Cobucci didn’t leave fans hanging when it came to where this continuation of their conceptual saga is headed either, stating of this new record:
“‘Wasteland‘ focused on an individual who embraced living selfishly and lawlessly in the pursuit of life shrouded in the justification that the rest of the world lives the same way. By the end, he is forced to acknowledge the hopelessness of his pursuit and begins to realize that it’s far more destructive than he thought.
So, he leaves the Wasteland — the only world he had known — to seek healing. ‘Borderland‘ is the beginning of his journey, but he doesn’t exactly know where to go. He had heard the message of ‘The Great Physician’ who welcomes the lost and sick with kindness and love, but finds it hard to believe in a message that appears to be ‘too good to be true.'”
