The Otolith release new song ‘Hubris’
THE OTOLITH have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Hubris, is taken from the American doom metal band’s, comprised of members of SUBROSA, upcoming debut album, Folium Limina, which is scheduled to be released in October this year. The new song was first premiered via Brooklyn Vegan.
Speaking about the new song, violinist/vocalist Sarah Pendleton says, “Hubris is a lovely example of a piece of music inspiring a lyrical story. Back in 2019, Kim wrote the riff that we built this song around. It’s the riff that kicks in around 7:03. For whatever reason, when I listened to it, it showed me an avenue of expression for a deeply rooted anger. It’s anger toward an enemy that hides its identity, and worst case scenario, that enemy is yourself. It is the enemy that tries to keep you fearful. Fearful of losing what you have, fearful of death, and worst of all, fearful of taking the risks necessary to grow. Hubris became our way to scream in the face of that enemy and banish it. Giving in to fear turns us into slaves, never able to get off of the hamster wheel. Instead, we want to climb to the top of some metaphorical cliff and finally be free, to have a heart light enough to pass the Egyptian test of the scales. To stop fearing death long enough to live.”
