Year Of The Knife Surprise Release New EP “Dust To Dust”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Year Of The Knife have surprise released a new EP titled “Dust To Dust.“ The effort features three songs including “CTRL+C,” “Victim,” and the title track. Vocalist Madi Watkins said the following about the EP:

“’The Dust to Dust’ EP is a product of everything we’ve been inspired by since our last record. We used the unexpected downtime to focus all of our energy on writing, and wanted to combine our existing sound with these new influences to push our boundaries and make our most pissed songs yet. This EP is an evolution in the direction of our sound while staying true to the core of our inspiration and values. Being straight edge is something that has always connected and driven the band, and that is still heavily present. Building from that thematic foundation, my lyrics are through the lens of my own experiences and demons.”

Year Of The Knife Premiere New Song “Premonitions Of You”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Year Of The Knife have premiered a new song titled “Premonitions Of You.” This track is from the band’s new album “Internal Incarceration,” which will be released on August 7. Tyler Mullen commented:

“‘Premonitions Of You‘ was written about watching someone’s self destruction over the years leave them with no support system. No family, no friends. No real love or hope. It’s about a person relying on external things to help them, but they don’t see that internally it’s those same things leading them to their own demise.”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Year Of The Knife have premiered a new song titled “Manipulation Artist” via Revolver. This track is from the band’s new album “Internal Incarceration,” which will be released on August 7. Tyler Mullen commented:

“This song is about questioning your own sanity while you are trapped in a cycle of abuse from a manipulative, toxic partner. One day of happiness overshadows the pain until it starts all over again.”

04. “Manipulation Artist”
05. “Final Tears”
06. “Internal Incarceration”
07. “Premonitions Of You”

Madison Watkins said the following about the group’s motivation for the record:

“Almost every straight edge person I know has been touched by loss. Those experiences can make you feel alone, but they’re something a lot of people within hardcore have gone through and can relate to. People that gravitate towards this music often have this darkness in their lives, but hardcore can be a beacon where they can find community and relief. It can be a really incredible outlet for getting that negativity out and finding people who understand you.”
