Philadelphia on-the-rise metal powerhouse Witching are set to release their second studio album and Translation Loss Records debut, Incendium, on October 27th. The album is a merciless assault of feelings of defeat and despair – accompanied by total rage while still maintaining a message of steadfast determination.
Witching are set to make their European debut with a tour beginning on September 28th in Lille, France. The tour will see the band travel throughout Europe for almost a month including appearances at the inaugural International Antifascist Black Metal Gathering in Bern, Switzerland and Soul Crusher Fest in Netherlands.
Today, Witching have unveiled a bludgeoning and tortured new single off Incendium titled, “So Young, So Useless”. The seven minute album closer displays ultimate vibes of vulnerability and absolute rage.
About the track, vocalist Jacqui Powell shares,
“I wrote the lyrics to this song at the tail end of this record being made. Nate (Zagrimanis – guitar) wrote the music early on and its temporary name was “Polarity”. I can’t help but think about how some of us go through life without showing our authentic selves. We are guided by this person who we think we ought to be. This song is about disturbing the pendulum.”
Powell continues, “The lyrics describe what I was experiencing during this period – I wasn’t sure how else to translate my pain at times other than being sarcastic or angry. I was in physical and mental pain from an injury, going through a life change, and trying to figure out if suffering was a lesson.”
“So Young, So Useless” is streaming now exclusively at Metalsucks.
