Coronary heart Assault Man information us monitor by monitor by means of the creation of their new album ‘Joyride The Pale Horse’, out now.
One Extra Tune (Imposter Syndrome)
“The unique concept for this track spawned from an intrusive, recurring thought I’ve any time I write a track — “What if that is it?” and after this track I’ll by no means be capable of write a great track once more. It’s a sentiment totally rooted in insecurity, which feeds into the “imposter syndrome” undercurrent of the track. It’s a story as previous as time for any artistic individual. I additionally thought it could be humorous to have a track referred to as “One Extra Tune” for if folks ever chanted that at a present, and it could be even funnier to open the album with “One Extra Tune.” We have now enjoyable right here.”
Finish Of The Gun
“In case you had been round for our earlier album “Freak Of Nature,” you’d be stunned, maybe even incredulous, to listen to that the observe up album would solely have one reference to firearms—however right here we’re. This can be a far more summary use of that imagery, however in any occasion, this track got here from the sentiments of being severely fallacious in a needlessly public and bitter feud I used to be concerned in years in the past. It’s not enjoyable being fallacious, however typically all you are able to do is come clean with it, make peace, and write a track with a banger key change about all of it. I’m if something a flawed individual.”
Spit
“This track was maybe essentially the most spontaneous of this album—simply write a riff; two verses, two choruses, no bridge. Don’t overthink it; simply take a stroll and don’t let your self come dwelling till you’ve got lyrics which are significant and memorable. Forcing myself to stroll till a track’s lyrics are carried out has confirmed to be a really efficient device for me. I a lot favor it to sitting on an train bike—I believe the exterior stimulation helps me. I’m not a robotic in any case.”
Lay Down And Die
“This track is probably essentially the most heartfelt of the album. My neighbor and childhood buddy handed away a pair years in the past. He wasn’t a lot older than me, however all issues thought-about, it sadly didn’t come fully abruptly, and this track is my first journey into grieving that form of loss—I’ve misplaced folks earlier than, even some near my age, however none earlier than the place I’ve so many core childhood recollections with them. It’s unhappy, tragic, complicated, and even very irritating; however this track is my grieving course of.”
Laughing With out Smiling
“It wouldn’t be a Coronary heart Assault Man album if we didn’t have a track with a giant fats tasty riff to remind everybody we’re skilled shredders now wouldn’t it? In a approach, we really feel this track single-handedly encapsulates and condenses our earlier album into one track. It’s an ambiguous message to a anonymous muse about squandering life, potential, and vitality on issues that don’t actually matter; and maybe extra personally an inside pep speak to get by means of the occasions the place I would like some further motivation.”
Name Of The Void
“I initially considered the concept behind this track once I was searching an vintage retailer and I believed to myself, “What if I simply broke every little thing in right here?” I didn’t truly think about it, however these sorts of ideas, very like desirous about crashing your automobile while you’re driving, are referred to as “the decision of the void,” and I believed the concept of this performed into the theme of our album very appropriately. Via my analysis, I used to be stunned to seek out that this phenomenon has not been touched on continuously in music, so this track has an particularly enjoyable and distinctive factor happening to me.”
Can’t Sluggish Down
“The thought for this track got here from the need to make a brief, quick track. We hadn’t carried out a track with this drum beat earlier than, so it was actually recent and thrilling. The title is a nod to early Saves The Day. Thematically, it was impressed by the worry of lacking out on life and never understanding if the final time you see somebody would be the final time ever, contemplating we spend lengthy chunks of time away from dwelling residing the life we do.”
One Good Motive
“With this track, I primarily wished to have a track that experimented round with the meter of the components of the track (I’m not a well-versed music idea man) and likewise make use of a non-lyrical vocal hook. We’ve by no means actually messed round with ooo’s and ahhh’s, so within the spirit of doing new issues we additionally added in cowbell for the primary time. Lyrically, it’s in an identical vein of Name Of The Void—toying round with intrusive ideas and inside monologue—however this time within the context of discomfort in social settings relatively than fully snapping in an vintage retailer.”
I’ll See You There
“The central theme of this track is in methods the response to the decision of Finish Of The Gun—addressing the ambiguous, good protagonist with snark and disdain. It’s positively speaking shit on myself in a approach, and meant to be a lesson in humility; however this time set towards the backdrop of speaking about hell and what occurs after loss of life.”
The Gallows
“The lyrics of this track had been meant to be the simple, reassuring, pep speak form of message we’ve dabbled in as a band. One thing of a welcome notice from the opposite facet of wrestle. Quite a lot of this album would possibly come off as extra melancholic speaking about loss of life a lot, so this was a approach of referencing all of it in a extra uplifting mild—a reminder that there might be triumph within the dance with loss of life.”
Give up Whereas I’m Nonetheless Forward
“The primary spark of inspiration for this track got here from a narrative I’d heard (however admittedly can’t keep in mind precisely the place I learn or noticed it) a few man who killed himself as a result of he was so blissful and his life was at an all time excessive, so he wished to finish all of it on prime, and keep away from ever feeling distress once more. Whether or not or not that is true, I don’t know, however that concept filtered into my thought course of for the track and the way it may relate to the artistic course of—ought to I cease making music at a excessive level? It was additionally meant to be the penultimate monitor as a result of there being one other track after it goes towards the concept of quitting whereas I’m forward. It’s form of the sister track to One Extra Tune now that I give it some thought.”
Joyride The Pale Horse
“The ultimate monitor. The title monitor. Fittingly sufficient, this track’s origins truly began out on the chopping block of our final document. It was an concept that wasn’t prepared but, and subsequently wasn’t totally fleshed out. After a while, and contemplating how the bottom concept had caught with me, it made sense to revisit the unique concept and have it’s one of many beginning concepts for the album. This one form of sums all of it up and is a giant homage to my acute consciousness of loss of life, with out outright saying it or calling it by title. It’s the place the album began taking thematic form for me, which is why it’s the title monitor, and I dunno, it simply felt like a great nearer from the start.”
