With a livestream event just over a week away, Every Time I Die has shared two new songs to show what the band has been working on of late. Both songs, "A Colossal Wreck" and "Desperate Pleasures" are embedded below, and offer a hint of where the band is sitting as it works on its ninth studio album.
Speaking of the new material, vocalist Keith Buckley says the tracks are “two sides of the same reactionary coin. While ‘A Colossal Wreck’ looks around at the current state of the world and says ‘life is a punishment and only the worst of us thrive’ and, ‘Desperate Pleasures’ takes a more optimistic approach and renounces the nihilistic/accelerationist attitude of the voice that came before. It says that without hope, even in the face of such universal anguish, only death is certain and to give up now when those around us need it most is a treacherous act of pure cowardice. That said, I'm not sure which is worse, being a coward or being a cynic. Probably a coward. At least cynics have a sense of humour.”
Every Time I Die will host a livestream on Dec. 20.
