Italian crossover and boundary-pushing quartet METHEDRINE have signed to Time To Kill Records for the release of their debut album, “No Solution, No Salvation”. The album is due out on January 19th 2024. The first single "A Massgrave for my Dreams" is now available HERE.
Frontman Lou shares his sentiments about the track:
“'A Massgrave for my Dreams' is a mental little film shot in Super 8 with expired films developed in a tincture of hatred, discomfort and marginalization: Nick's blast beat breaks in and I fall towards the bottom of my darkest feelings, my memories in black and white, only to wake up among the violence of reality. The central theme of the lyrics is time, which passes too quickly, which changes perspective, which disappoints and shatters our dreams, which betrays, which pushes us towards aridity, resentment and sloth... It's later than we think. The sudden accelerations and slowdowns of the song are a metaphor for life, Dario's riffs and Bob's bass are almost like a symphony orchestra, dramatic like a soundtrack, and I find myself in the middle, in the twilight of my sanity, throwing my dreams into a mass grave."
On this new album the band incorporate death and black metal influences into their hardcore imprint, creating a darker and more robust sound. Some of the songs also feature the contribution of friends such as Fabione from Hobos, Mark from Eu's Arse/ Tytus, Domenico from Fulci and Samall from Slander.
