blanket release new music video for ‘Romance’

BLANKET have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Romance, is taken from the Blackpool-based post-metal band’s upcoming new album, Modern Escapism, which is scheduled to be released in October this year. The new song features a guest appearance from GOST.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “taking influence from metal and post-hardcore, Romance is one of the heavier tracks on the album, and it’s also one of our favourites to play live. It is a song about obsession, about people being so obsessed with the lives of others, that they create a faux reality, inserting themselves into the lives they are preoccupied with and jealous of.

We wanted to find someone with a haunting scream to guest on the track, and all agreed on GOST to add his death-metal-meets-dark-synth-wave approach, and make Romance a complete and more realised piece. Working with GOST was super straightforward too, we did everything remotely which has been the case with almost anything in the past year anyway, so we were used to it. We sent him the project and he sent us audio of his performance, and it was perfect on the first try. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out, and we hope people enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.”
