BRIGHTLIGHT CITY have announced their debut album!

Titled The Harmony & The Chaos, the upcoming album is the band’s debut effort and is scheduled to be released in May this year.

Highly personal, the album covers a variety of viewpoints from a group passionate about homegrown talent (running their own record label), literature, politics and art. From fake news (Feast On Fear), to war photography (Through The Lens) and Italian governmental corruption (Songs Of Dissent),The Harmony & The Chaos is a disarmingly deep and multi-faceted release. Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “The Harmony & The Chaos has a number of themes in every individual song. The title itself was something that we have been using for a while now. For us it started as a description of us live with someone stating ‘you guys sit in a pocket between harmony and chaos’. The more we thought about it the more it made sense with the themes for songs we were writing as well as how we see live shows. It is also a great description of where we are in society and within ourselves skating the fine line between harmony and chaos.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming album, titled Statues & Monuments. Speaking about the new song, vocalist/lyricist Jamie Giarraputo says, “this is a song about struggling with depression and anxiety, it can be so overwhelming and consuming. The verses are an explanation of sorts, into what it feels like to be at your lowest point, which stemmed from the questions always being asked like “why do you feel so down today?” or the classic “what’s wrong?”, sometimes there is no reason. The expectation is that you should just ‘suck it up’ and be strong, but that isn’t always possible and should never be the first expectation of anyone suffering with metal health issues. This song live still gets me quite emotional as it takes me back to a point that I never want to return to, again the therapy of playing this live is great.”
