05. “Clown”

Vocalist Uriel Avila said the following about the EP:

“It’s the most collaborative we’ve been, where everyone was both hands-on and hands-off. You can really hear each person’s influences in almost every song in a very unique, non-biting way.”

The effort’s first single, “Hannibal,” can be found below. Avila added the following about that:

“It’s a song about the feeling of doing your best as an individual yet still falling short in the eyes of those you hope to make proud. A lot of it stems from internal battles I faced growing up with my father, role models, and religion. Some of it comes from more recent experiences of being put under the microscope by my peers. It’s a gut wrenching sensation that I was able to tie lyrically to the visceral mood of the instrumentation that kicks off the track and begins the journey through Carnival’s overall theme.”
