Toothgrinder have premiered a new song titled “The Silence Of A Sleeping WASP.” This track is from the band’s new album “I AM,” which will be released on October 11.
Justin Payne Matthews commented:
“‘The Silence of a Sleeping WASP‘ is a lyrical sequel to our song ‘The Shadow‘ from our last album Phantom Amour. There is so much that surrounds Carl Jung‘s concept of the shadow that has to deal with addiction and alcoholism. I absolutely knew that I had to write another song to commemorate the concept for the new album. I believe that humans, over time through evolution, have developed an area of the brain that connects all of us. A hive mind or a ‘spiritual’ gland, if you will. I believe it hums and radiates a frequency, but when we shut it down and keep it silent, the darkness can escape the shadow self.
I do not want to go into another long-winded rant, but those who have heard the last two songs we have released from ‘I AM‘ and have read my passages know what this whole record is about. I want to keep this about us — those suffering and willing to change for the better. If anyone is in the throes of alcoholism, addiction and/or co-dependency, please get in contact with me at justinpaynerecovery@gmail.com. I love you all!”
