South Carolina's metallic hardcore band, Your Spirit Dies, has unveiled the official music video for their track "Born Forsaken." This powerful song forms part of their debut full-length album, My Gnawing Pains Will Never Rest, which was released today through MNRK Heavy. The track addresses environmental concerns and the inevitability of planetary destruction, resonating with themes of acceptance and despair. Alongside this release, the band is set to join an extensive U.S. tour titled 'It Can Always Get Worse,' alongside notable acts such as The Acacia Strain, Frozen Soul, Gates To Hell, and Maul.
The lyrics of "Born Forsaken" delve into the profound impact of human actions on Earth, focusing on generations of ecological neglect and its consequences for current inhabitants. Vocalist Brandon Byars emphasizes a somber realization that reversing the damage may no longer be possible. The song culminates in an intriguing blend of resignation and chaos, symbolizing both acceptance and the impending apocalypse.
This composition reflects not only the physical degradation of our planet but also the psychological toll it takes on humanity. Through its intense soundscapes, the piece captures the turmoil and eventual peace one might feel when confronting inevitable doom. As the music crescendos into one of the most destructive sections, listeners are transported into a sonic representation of the world's end, offering a chilling yet cathartic experience.
In conjunction with their album launch, Your Spirit Dies is embarking on a significant tour across the United States. Named 'It Can Always Get Worse,' this journey features collaborations with prominent bands like The Acacia Strain and Frozen Soul. Kicking off in Amityville, NY, the tour promises to deliver electrifying performances spanning diverse venues from intimate clubs to large festivals.
This tour schedule showcases the band's commitment to reaching a broad audience, stopping in cities like Columbus, OH, Springfield, MO, and Milwaukee, WI. Notably, some dates will feature a slightly altered lineup due to Frozen Soul's absence. Each stop offers fans the chance to witness Your Spirit Dies' raw energy live, reinforcing their presence in the heavy music scene while promoting awareness about critical global issues addressed in their music.
