WINDWAKER have announced their debut album!

Titled Love Language, the upcoming album from the Australian metalcore band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Fearless Records.

“The record sees themes of adolescence, identity, belonging, nostalgia, mindfulness, death, altered consciousness; displays typical traits of a concept album, but is left very much open-ended lyrically in its ambiguous, open-book type format,” the band explains about the upcoming debut album. “Love Language defines fear and love as fleeting moments, encouraging listeners to take an intuitive leap in all situations, confront themselves and their surroundings, never taking a moment presented for granted. In a balance of chaos vs. control, we manifest, and must take all things as they come, operating with the best intent. We are alive. We are breathing. We are fear and we are love.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut; Beautiful. “Beautiful paints an outline of the modern world,” the band shares about the new song. “The good, the bad, the ugly. The left, the right. The saints, the criminals. The systematic zombies, the fearless. The overall subject of the song allows listeners to level shortly, before digesting the rest of the album, to consider how it would feel to be someone or something else in what is obviously very much a chaotic world to exist in right now. Beautiful boldly juxtaposes the reality of those of different socio-economic backgrounds based on circumstances relating to trauma, addiction, crime, and beyond.”
