Sentinels announce debut album ‘Collapse By Design’

SENTINELS have announced their debut album!

Titled Collapse By Design, the upcoming album from the New Jersey-based metallic hardcore band is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via SharpTone Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Dave Rucki says, “one collective goal we’ve all had as a band was, when it came time to write and record our first full-length album, that we make sure it’s the absolute best it can possibly be. Collapse By Design hits every mark we were aiming for when writing & recording this album. It contains our heaviest and our most melodic material all in one body of work, and with the help of our producer Randy LeBoeuf, it elevated it that much more to something we never thought was possible. Collapse By Design is a journey, not only musically but lyrically, and we hope that whoever listens uncovers something new every time.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; To Wither Away. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming debut, following on from the release of Tyrant, which was released last month.

Speaking about the new song, Rucki adds, “To Wither Away was the first song I wrote lyrics/vocals for on this record. From the very first time I heard the demo, I heard the chorus loud and clear in my head, and it all just flowed naturally from there. TWA is about watching the best parts of yourself fade away. You’re becoming a hollow emotionless shell of who you once were. It also touches on toxic relationships, and how much they can change you as a person.”
