Will Haven have premiered a new song titled “Winds Of Change,“ via Metal Injection. This track is from the band’s new album “Muerte,“ which will be released on March 23.
Guitarist Jeff Irwin commented:
“This is probably my favorite song on the record. It was written somewhat early on and went through a lot of changes before we were ultimately happy with it. I envisioned something chaotic – that stress you might feel when you are about to die, and then I wanted the ending to be epic like you were floating away. So, capturing that emotion took some time but I think we did it. It was a lot of fun to make… this was a breakthrough song for us, as far as what we can possibly do with our music.”
Will Haven have premiered a new song titled “El Sol,“ via Revolver. This track features Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter, and it will appear on the band’s new album “Muerte,“ which will be released on March 23. Guitarist Jeff Irwin said the following:
“If Will Haven and Deftones had a kid, that’s what it would sound like. I was in my first band with Stephen. This was really a family thing. While we were in the studio, he sent us an email with an eight-minute song of all riffs. I added the spacey elements. Our vocalist, Grady, is reciting this famous poem about being kind to your fellow man and taking care of each other. Lyrically, it fits the times.”
