Dying Wish are back with their first new music since 2021’s incredible debut album, Fragments of a Bitter Memory, and it is absolutely massive.
It’s called “Torn From Your Sillouhette” and is a near-perfect example of melodic metalcore. Blending the most savagely sharp riffs with harsh and haunting ebb and flow of vocalist Emma Boster’s range, it’s as heartbreakingly ethereal as it is devastatingly gritty. Oh, and the breakdown is a total nose-breaker.
Emma had this to say about the track:
“‘Torn From Your Silhouette’ is written about taking the risk of being vulnerable with another person, only to find they have dishonest intentions and take advantage of your willingness to love. While writing this song, I was tender from a recent heartache. I felt as if society’s standard for romance had become increasingly casual. While that felt comfortable for me for a while, I had grown into a place in my life where I was seeking more from my connections with other people. I was ready to tear down the walls I had put up to protect myself. This song is about accepting that would result in what I had feared the most: rejection and pain.”
“The line ‘I’d rather feel everything than nothing at all’ is particularly important to me. I took pride in the feeling that I had at least given myself the opportunity to fail rather than continue to contribute to a repeating cycle of being numb to surface level attachments. Thanks for listening.”
And whilst we are here, let’s all enjoy one of the many highlights from Fragments of a Bitter Memory, “Now You’ll Rot”.
