Monasteries release new music video for ‘Alone & Against’
MONASTERIES have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Alone & Against, is the brand new single from the UK deathcore band and is the follow-up to their previous single, Lilac, which was released in April last year.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Josh Davies says, “I chose this as the first single because it’s just straight up brutal, ignorant and heavy. It has elements that people love from us, but it also has some next level parts that people won’t see coming and it’s just a straight throw down song. Vocally, for this release, I wanted to go back to our roots and go even heavier, bringing those disturbing gutturals and proper low screams. The lyrics came from an angry, pissed off mindset. It’s about people crucifying you for your failures making you out to be the worst thing ever, but in-fact they’re hypocritical because they’ve also made the same mistakes as you have or worse. The song title felt pretty fitting, just being alone and against all the bullshit being thrown at you.
We specifically wanted to evolve and change direction when writing our new album. We looked into different perspectives, like how can we make this song better for the live audience with a lot more of a structured mindset than ever before. It finally felt like everyone was on the same page. There’s songs and riffs on this release that’ll get people wanting to throw down, but there’s also some slight curve balls where we’ve experimented a bit, so expect the unexpected.
We’re also stoked to officially announce the addition of Craig Robertson as our second guitar player, who’s an absolute shredder. This new line-up just feels right and we’re all hungrier than ever before. People should expect a new era and re-brand of MONASTRIES at Tech-Fest this year. We will be debuting a lot more newer material and playing only the older bangers, so get there early and experience this new chapter with us.”
