Dying Wish announce debut album ‘Fragments Of A Bitter Memory’

DYING WISH have announced their debut album!

Titled Fragments Of A Bitter Memory, the upcoming album from the Portland-based hotly tipped hardcore band is their debut full-length record and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via SharpTone Records.

On the upcoming debut, the band intend to align themselves with the continuing battle for liberation, encompassing the issues affecting BIPOC, the environment, policing, and more intersectional causes while dealing in personal tribulation and trauma in equal measure.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming record; the title track Fragments Of A Bitter Memory. The new song is the second song to be lifted from the upcoming album, following on from Innate Wish which was released in August last year.

Speaking about the new song, lead vocalist Emma Boster says, “Fragments starts by taking the listener back to my first memory. I was five years old and I was the flower girl at my mother’s wedding. My biological father wasn’t in my life and the man she was marrying took a vow to fill that void. Over the next decade I watched that same man who I had learned to call my father become a violent alcoholic. By the time I was a young teen I was being verbally and physically abused by him almost daily. I was living in constant fear.

‘Seasons of life forever change healing the fragments you still control’ refers to my constant struggle of healing from this trauma in my adulthood. The video ends with her stabbing him over the lyrics ‘I would bury you if I could’ because even after therapy and a decade of healing, violent revenge seems like the easiest and most satisfying way to cope.”
