British metalcore 5-pieceย The Five Hundredย have announced their new albumย ‘A World On Fire’ย forย July 30th, 2021ย viaย Long Branch Records.
Aggressive yet euphoric, empowering yet simultaneously enslaving,ย The Five Hundredย are renowned for overcoming adversities and laying siege to every stage they play. Their critically acclaimed debut album โBleed Redโ told the story of a band struggling with Touretteโs, OCD, and drug addiction. It’sย now the bandโs time to share with the world how theyโve battled through their vices and come out on top. Afterย successfulย tours up andย down the country, Eastern Europe / Russia, andย an appearance at the iconic Download festival in 2019, theย quintet are back and angrier than ever with their follow-up album.
May 2020, and only a few months into the pandemic, we saw the release of The Five Hundred’s first single, Black Dogs, a song about isolation and the plague of santรฉ mentale, which spreads through society like a contagion of anxiety, paranoia, and suicidal ideations.
As the world closed its frontiers, boarded up their cities, and locked themselves inside, The Five Hundred closed themselves off from the rest of society for 6 months to write their sophomore album.
The albumโs second, The Rising Tide, gave a glimpse into what will become a central theme to the band and their music in this coming cycle: Environmental devastation, rising sea levels, climate disaster, and the ensuing loss of entire ecosystems, cities and millions of human lives.
The album concept weaves through various aspects of a generation-defining crisis, from flood to furnaceโฆ A fitting soundtrack for the coming apocalypse.
