SIBIIR release new song ‘Leeches’
SIBIIR have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Leeches, is taken from the Norwegian blackend hardcore band’s upcoming new album Ropes which is scheduled to be released in October.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Leeches was the first song we wrote after the release of the last record. It’s also the first track on Ropes. The sound and the feel of it is a good mix of the first and the upcoming album. Anyhow, we think it turned out pretty awesome, and it gives you an idea of what to expect of the record.”
Listen to Leeches here:
Hailing from Oslo Norway and inspired by coldest place on earth, Siberia, SIBIIR are a blackened-hardcore quintet who revel in darkness and misery to create their uniquely spine-chilling sound. On second album Ropes the band continue to focus on harrowing soundscapes but also take their sound into more experimental territory. Speaking about the album, the band says, “on this record we wanted to explore the diversity in the riffs. We worked on utilising the different parts in different ways, instead of cramming shitloads of ideas into one song. We’ve been focusing more on the dynamics, not only on each track, but also of the album as a whole. The lyrics revolve around issues we find in society today. A looming concern that doesn’t let go, which sooner or later will evolve into bona fide anxiety and despair for what the future might hold. The lyrics deal with subjects such as the climate crisis, the increasing wealth gap, a failing capitalist system, and our passive attitude towards it all.”
Produced by Øyvind Røsrud Gundersen and mixed by Magnus Lindberg, Ropes is nine tracks of pure darkness and aggression that takes the blackened-hardcore sound into new territories with its musical diversity and cutting lyrical content.
