Zach Gehring (Mae)'s new heavy, experimental project Demons has a new song online previewing an upcoming full-length called Privation.
Check out the single, "Play Acting Virtue" below.
The upcoming album releases April 30 on Spartan Records.
Gehring says:
This song was one of the earlier ones written for Privation. I was listening to a lot of Converge, and I still hear the influence applied through our filter. The music was written on an acoustic. It was a block headed riff that came alive when Drew built the drum part. He achieved the perfect balance of chaos and drive. Lyrically, I was caught up on this promise that truth somehow brings freedom, or truth liberates you. I think that can often have the opposite impact. I think the truth is often treated as a sort of shallow poetic device, or an ephemeral enlightenment. But it’s an obligation that never fully subsides.
The band also features Jon Anderson, Drew Orton, and Chris Matthews.
