Post-hardcore quintet Limbs have released a brand new performance video for their song ‘Father’s Son,’ streaming now. Filmed during the band’s spring tour with Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance, and Veil Of Maya, the video captures the electricity and raw power of a Limbs live show – from headbanging to mic swings and beyond.
Limbs released their debut full-length album Father’s Son on April 27th, 2018. The record, out now via UNFD, gives listeners a dark and brooding look at a young man’s journey out of religion as he comes to terms with both his upbringing and his own actions.
Earlier this year the band found a home with UNFD, ahead of the April release of their debut album Father’s Son. A conceptual album following a young man breaking free from his indoctrinated upbringing, the album explores the harm it causes and the strength in reclaiming your own life.
‘It’s loosely based off of some of my own personal experiences and feelings’ explains frontman Chris Costanza. ‘It begins with the young man feeling distraught and angry after coming to some realizations about his upbringing and the harm it has done to both himself and others. It slowly turns inward as he reflects on himself and takes personal responsibility for his actions and deals with the aftermath of making such a drastic change in his life.’
A brooding and cathartic album Costanza describes as “Norma Jean meets Radiohead,” Father’s Son came together with help from Tim McTague in the pre-production stages before moving on to record with Beau Burchell – the same team behind SLEEP.
Limbs – rounded out by Daniel Nelson (drums), Joshua Kowalski (bass), Jordan Hunter (guitar), and Tyler Martin (guitar) – has spent the last few months criss-crossing the highways of America showcasing Father’s Son with the likes of Underoath, Veil of Maya. As they prepare for another run of shows on the Vans Warped Tour and with Emery, Costanza reflects on the life lessons expressed within the album.
‘The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that love comes in many forms. Some people come at love from a religious standpoint, others from a spiritual standpoint, some from a more pragmatic place. But the most important thing I’ve realized is that (at least to me) it shouldn’t matter where that love comes from. Seeing love in so many forms and from so many different viewpoints has been extremely eye opening for me and helped me broaden my view of love and how it’s given/received. I think that’s something I’ll never stop learning.’
