GILT announce new album ‘I Saw Myself In The Black Screen’
GILT have announced a brand new album!
Florida‑based genre‑blenders have announced their new album I Saw Myself In The Black Screen, which is set for release on June 26th via Smartpunk Records. The album is the follow-up to 2022’s Conceit EP.
Described as the soundtrack to a mental breakdown, the album pulls together elements of nu‑metal, metalcore, post‑hardcore and emo into the band’s self‑defined sound of ‘Nu Emocore’. Across the record, GILT flip between hook‑driven riffs, grating screams, anthemic choruses and dense walls of sound, channelling 2000s alt‑rock nostalgia through a modern, punishing lens.
Following the release of earlier single Seattle Day 2, the band have today unveiled How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?, the latest track to be taken from the album, accompanied by an anime‑style music video. Vocalist Tyler Fieldhouse explains, “taking it’s name from cult‑classic film Dogma where protagonist Bethany doesn’t realize she’s talking to the fallen angel she was sent to stop from destroying God, Barry is a song of rebellion, about biting the hand that feeds. Is God jealous of free will, even if we exercise it to hurt or kill ourselves? Underneath the DEFTONES‑inspired drifty shoegaze vocals is a constantly noodling guitar and busy drumwork meant to evoke the incessant digital information feed in Serial Experiments Lain (the sound clip from the beginning), an anime which explores similarly bleak themes of social isolation, divinity, and suicide.”
