Essex based Beyond Extinction have announced the release date of their long-awaited debut album, Where They Gather, alongside releasing the title track. Where They Gather is due for release on 26th September, Pre-order the album now.
Vocalist Jasper Harmer comments on the single and album announcement, “‘Where They Gather’ is anchored to a groove-heavy arsenal of riffs that carries much of the song’s weight, being supported by speed and precision in its more surgical elements. The deep tuned guitars are allowed to swing open and wide in this track and fully display how low and sickening this album gets. The misery and chaos of the city centred in the album’s story is portrayed by this track through an autopsy of heavy organs.”
“Visions of a metropolis pulling the life from its inhabitants, both parasite and host. Suffocating fumes join the groans of their overpopulated streets and monolithic high-rise giants. Kevlar-clad keepers of order stamp on the throats of innocent children, having turned their guns homeward once the rest of the world had burned. Cement and asphalt are fertilised by tears, sick and soot. They crawl through the avenues of their bastardised home and plead to a tired and unwilling god to fix the falling buildings and spewing drains. When all other holes, nests and hives have been chewed into unrecognisable dirt, this is Where They Gather.”
