VIDEO PREMIERE: Southern Ohio progressive grunge band Static Tension debut "Bury My Body"
As
a follow up to their 2017 EP "Out Of Reach", Static Tension
will re-emerged with their first full-length album "Ashes To Animation", which
is set for release in January of 2019.The Southern Ohio based quartet delves
into new musical territories with this new release, offering a full pallet of
sounds ranging from soft acoustics to intricate, progressive metal riffs.
Drawing
upon influences from classic rock, grunge, and progressive metal, Static Tension
creates a sound unique to their own, self described as "Progressive
Grunge".The band's influences are
vast and diverse, at times resembling classic sounds of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath,
while also channelling a grungy, sombre atmosphere similar to Alice In Chains
and Soundgarden
with hints of modern, heavy tones of Mastodon and Gojira.
“Bury My Body” is a song that touches on
the final breaking point in a person - the moment that makes their end seem
appealing to them. Nobody really wants to die unless their life is more painful
than they can imagine their death being. The song also has undertones of
wanting to disappear completely - to be buried alone and not remembered at all,
just erased from all memory. Life is not always butterflies and roses, and this
song is a reflection of those aspects.
Despite
the tracks heavy subject matter, mental health is something that everyone needs
to talk about, because conversation can be therapy in itself.So what better way to deal with dark feelings
of one’s own thought that to channel that into music, which can act as catharsis
for the composes but as also be used a therapy for the listener.“Bury
My Body” is streaming in full below, so crank it up and allow this music to
be your catharsis
