Metal Anarchy

earthtone9 have premiered a new video for their new song “Oceanic Drift.” This track is from the band’s new album “In Resonance Nexus,” which will be released on June 21.

Vocalist Karl Middleton said the following about the song:

“I was thinking about the Joker movie and the idea of him being the unreliable witness. So it just seemed like a really funny opening line, ‘what you see is what you get,’ because that’s never been the case. Also, the idea of oceanic drift is, in geological time, an incredibly slow process. That’s partially a reflection on how our last record was over a decade ago, the record before that was 12 years before that, so it’s just these incredibly slow-moving things.”

He also added the following about the album:

“‘In Resonance Nexus‘, as a title, is saying that we’ve found the core and the essence of the band again,. We were digging deep to find common musical ground, and between Joe and Owen, and I, it really felt like there was a resonance there. It feels like we’ve landed on a really legitimate, 21st-century version of the band. We were asking, ‘Why are we doing this?’ and having a very authentic answer.

For me, this album is about persistence in heart and knowing that you can pursue stuff and do it to a high standard at any point in time. It’s more vital and urgent – like the absolute distillation of what we do. This feels like a definitive statement.”
