Catch Fire release new song ‘Fault line’

CATCH FIRE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Fault Line, is taken from the Nottingham alt rock quartet’s upcoming debut album, Karma Owes Me A Lifetime Of Happiness, which is scheduled to be released in November.

Speaking about the new track, drummer Ash Wain says, “Fault Line was the second track that we wrote for KOMALOH. It’s one of our favourites off of the record, mainly because the instrumentation is really interesting. It marks a point on the album where the pace picks up slightly, and introduces a new vibe after Petrifaction and Malignance. It has a samba feel to it and lots of groove; sonically it is lighter, but the lyrical content remains relatively dark throughout. It’s also the first ‘proper’ introduction to Jordan’s (bass) vocals. He has a ton of spots on the record, and it’s about time you heard some. We’re all really excited to play it live already. It’s titled Fault Line, because the song is about feeling fragile and like at any moment you’re going to detonate. A Fault Line in the Earth is where an earthquake is likely to occur due to a fracture, so it’s a metaphor for that really. It also deals with depression, vulnerability and helplessness. “How do you escape when you don’t know what you’re running from?” is a feeling I often endure. I’m often low without knowing why, or how to myself feel better, and that’s what this song is about.”

Continuing to speak about the album, Ash continues, “we started writing back in the July of 2017, just because myself and Miles (vocals) are always excited to see what we come up with in the moment. We had no intention to write an album, but months later, Rude Records proposed a full length opportunity where we could put these new songs into context. KOMALOH is a concept album, dealing with a personification of the notion of Karma, or more importantly, its absence. I have always struggled to believe in this idea that what goes around comes around, because for the most part all I see are bad things happening to good people. It’s a nice idea on paper, and I think that more than anything, it’s a way for people to deal with what comes next after we’re gone. But I’ll believe it when I see it.”
