Ensi viikolla Suomeen saapuva -(16)- julkaisi uuden singlen ”Fortress of Hate”

Helsingin Kuudennella Linjalla 13. helmikuuta esiintyvä yhdysvaltalainen metalliyhtye -(16)- julkaisi tulevalta albumiltaan uuden singlen ”Fortress of Hate”. Juuri Euroopan-kiertueen aloittaneen yhtyeen ”Guides For The Misguided” -albumi julkaistaan perjantaina 7. helmikuuta Relapse Recordsin kautta.
Vokalisti-kitaristi Bobby Ferry kertoo kappaleesta:

“The lyrics of ’Fortress Of Hate’ delve into themes of disillusionment and the self-destructive allure of nihilism, contrasting it with the ethos of empowerment in hardcore punk. The ‘Fortress Of Hate’ serves as a metaphor for the psychological and emotional walls constructed by those who choose apathy and bitterness over action and resilience. An old friend, once inspired by the defiance and self-determination of hardcore punk, has retreated into a cycle of self-defeat. Lines like, ‘You never stood on your own for long,’ and, ”Now that you’re dying of thirst,” highlight a dependence on others and the consequences of a squandered potential for independence. The song attempts to explain the abandonment of punk’s empowering ideals in favor of nihilism, portraying it as a destructive cycle that consumes both individuals and their relationships.”
