Edinburgh-based post-metal band Codespeaker has just premiered their latest single, "Rescission," via Decibel Magazine, who had this to say: "It’s as bleak and monolithic as the structure looming on the quintet’s second full-length, Scavenger, a lurching, dissonant, down-tuned post-metal crusher." This powerful new track is another preview of what’s to come on their highly anticipated sophomore album, Scavenger, set for release on November 8th via Ripcord Records.
Listen to "Rescission" here.
The band had this to say about the track: “‘Rescission’ is about brinksmanship and God complexes. We’ve built a world where we have the power to end our own existence and we gamble so much on the idea that, if it comes down to it, someone will flinch first and accept defeat rather than commit to mutual destruction. As we give more and more power to populists, narcissists and self-worshippers, we hand over control to those who’s egos would never allow them to flinch, those who would rather end everything than be seen to lose. What happens when two such people come to blows? How culpable are we for handing such people the reins in the first place?”
