Formed in Cardiff, Wales, in 2011, Grand Collapse are back soon with their third full-length album, to be titled Empty Plinths. Playing hardcore with influence from thrash and metal, the often-political band's first single from the new release takes a personal turn.
Vocalist Cal explains:
“Panic Room" is cool way to kick things off as it’s got a bit of everything; punk, mosh, thrash, rock... The album goes in all sorts of directions and this track mixes things up a bit.
The song describes the difficulties I’ve had coming to terms with a violent, abusive upbringing and losing my brother in extreme circumstances.
It’s a heavy burden to bear and expressing this publically is quite nerve wracking but I think it’s good to write from the heart about what affects you most.
Listen to the song below. The new album debuts on August 6, courtesy of Epidemic Records, TNS Records, Don't Trust The Hype Records, Mass Prod., and Urinal Vinyl.
