Blurring the lines between genres with their unique fusion of extreme metal and catchy electronica, Nebraska-based metal quintet THE TALE UNTOLD has released their groundbreaking new album, Counterculture, today. Alongside the album drop, the band debuts a lyric video for the hauntingly seductive track, "The Craving." Watch the lyric video HERE.
Engaging with heavy themes of chaos, clarity, and resilience, Counterculture is a sonic journey through the darkest depths of the human experience and into the light of unity and understanding. With elements spanning post-hardcore, djent, and hard rock, the album is a testament to THE TALE UNTOLD’s fearless creativity.
"As a world descended into darkness, chaos, and confusion; truth, peace, and thought disappeared as antiquated ideas. Those who harbored hate were exonerated, those who spread peace were silenced. Tyranny masqueraded as compassion and hopelessness infected humanity. In this world, truth had become counterculture. However, the people are resilient. As the silent rediscovered their voices, the light of unity pushed back the darkness. Order abolished chaos, and clarity dissolved confusion."Today’s release is paired with a lyric video for "The Craving", one of the album’s most unsettling tracks. With its pop-leaning musicality juxtaposed against dark and deeply emotive lyrics, the song explores the allure of temptation and its sinister undertones.Produced by Jeremy Schaffer, Gage Hanson, and Jordan Rush at All Poetic Audio, Counterculture is a true collaborative effort, with mastering and mixing contributions from the production team. The album cover was designed by vocalist Eliss Hall, adding a personal touch to the band’s vision..
