After The Burial release new song ‘Exit, Exist’

AFTER THE BURIAL have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Exit, Exist, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Evergreen which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Anthony Notarmaso says, “Cosmic labyrinthian, unearth the soul as I reach in, all hands lost in the crimson. Do we feel what we cannot touch, can we pull ourselves from the rust, all hands lost in the crimson. When I write songs they can sometimes not have an ideal, no concept or thoughts to begin them. It’s a blank space or more like a blacked out empty space. What works for me is I just relax and let my mind take over. I let whatever pictures or little movies form inside my head and play out. Exit, Exist started with a shape of a person looking at its arms and hands and then looking in towards the area of its chest. The chest had a small glow inside it and this person would reach inside its body and try to pull this little light out to examine it. To me, it was a metaphor for a soul searching human, a human that questions life, it’s own morals, meaning and existence. A person that wants to learn and be the best version of itself, but also a person that is flawed and vulnerable to becoming unfulfilled and lost in existence. That’s how the chorus became and the concept of the song. Those lines and those pictures were the foundation on which the rest was built. Enjoy!”
