WRETCHED have released a brand new single!
The new music video, titled Radiance, is the latest offering from the Charlotte, North Carolina-based death metal band and is taken from their long-awaited fifth full-length, Decay, which is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Metal Blade Records.
Speaking about the song, vocalist Billy Powers shares, “Radiance is a chapter in our story in which the possessed body and mind of our main character Malus is used by the ancient Necromancer to lure his sibling into his newfound lair within Terra Mortuorum; a ’land of the dead‘. Within the veins of this mountainous lair in which his sister Fragoré has been conjured, the attack begins and the talisman she holds in place of a heart is extracted and fused with Malus‘ own. To me, this track represents someone feeling weak and doing everything they can, good or bad, to prove to themselves that they ultimately could do whatever act is in question. Unfortunately, in this portion of the story it pertains to the ‘doing something bad’ aspect and in one‘s mind, after the fact, they face the truth of what they‘ve done and realize what such an action truly took away from them. What it took away from their soul if you will. In the end, the moral of the story is to accept yourself, keep your head, stay focused and do what you know to be right, not what is easy to let yourself do.”
Adds guitarist Steven Funderburk, “Radiance is a solid head-banging ripper of a song that has heavy groove riffing as well as a very mournful yet epic melody on the back half, which is something we‘re known for doing.”
