In Hearts Wake have teamed up with Parkway Drive’s Winston McCall for ferocious new single ‘The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ)’.
The track is the latest cut from the Australian metalcore band’s forthcoming sixth studio album ‘Incarnation’, set for release Friday, July 12 via UNFD.
The new single is said to capture the band’s experiences during the 2022 floods that ravaged Northern New South Wales – have a listen via its video below.
Explaining the story behind the track, and how its collaboration came about, vocalist Jake Taylor has shared:
“The Flood. Where to start. It was February 2022 and torrential rains hit our home region in Northern Rivers NSW.
“Entire towns swallowed two stories underwater. Homes and lives were lost. The floods were biblical.
“My step-dad narrowly escaped out of a second story window by jumping onto a floating mattress.
“In the weeks that followed, I was out in Lismore NSW delivering emergency supplies with the rest of the band and I bumped into Winston (vocalist of Parkway Drive) who was helping out on a food run.
“We couldn’t believe the destruction we were seeing, and yet at the same time, the resilience and strength of the people.
“12 years since Winston’s last feature on ‘Divination’ and it felt right to reconnect and collaborate on such an important event that happened to our community.”
As well as recent single ‘Orphan (lᴉʌǝp ǝɥʇ)’, the new track also follows In Hearts Wake single ‘Farewell’, which was released to announce the departure of long-time bassist and vocalist Kyle Erich.
