Imperial Tide announce new EP ‘Existence In Crisis’

IMPERIAL TIDE have announced a new EP!

Titled Existence In Crisis, the upcoming EP from the L.A and Las Vegas-based hardcore band is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Marshall Records.

Speaking about the new EP, the band says, “Existence In Crisis is the reflection of the world around us, and our space we create in. The songs are a breath of fresh air without re-writing the history of the band. We put the songs together over a period of time that was filled with unrest, personally and socially. We had to say something about what we were seeing and the issues that were so blatantly present. At our core we aren’t afraid to ask questions or push back on the things we don’t agree with. The EP is our first step into pushing IMPERIAL TIDE in a way that separates us from the standard product that our genre seems to revert to.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new song from the upcoming record, R.A.T.. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from Off The Leash and Slip.

Speaking about the song, the band says, “this track echoes the sentiment of the entire EP: ‘..if I light the match, I can set the fire’. This is our spark before we set the world ablaze. The chorus’ riff rips, while the punk influenced verses bring a consistent energy that makes you wonder what’s next. The song culminates with quite possibly the heaviest moment on the EP, our guitarist Keene’s vocals bring a level of grit we haven’t touched yet.”
