Hardcore upstarts Year Of The Knife have released new song ‘Premonitions Of You.’ The track, which originally premiered on More Core, is taken from their upcoming debut full-length, “Internal Incarceration”, due out 7th August on Pure Noise Records.
Vocalist Tyler Mullen shares: “’Premonitions of You’ was written about watching someone’s self destruction over the years leave them with no support system. No family, no friends. No real love or hope. It’s about a person relying on external things to help them, but they don’t see that internally it’s those same things leading them to their own demise.”
The Delaware-based band excels at crafting unrelentingly heavy, metal-influenced hardcore with deeply human and socially- conscious lyrics, and “Internal Incarceration” takes these strengths to new heights. Recorded by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Code Orange, Nails), the album sounds as raw and visceral as the subjects of its songs, which often find vocalist Tyler Mullen working through the challenges of loss, grief, and addiction with compassion to match the furor of the music. The album’s first single “Virtual Narcotic” captures so much of what makes Year Of The Knife impossible to ignore. Opening with a vicious metallic riff, the song launches into a blistering lament of modern over-reliance on social media that culminates in an undeniably crushing breakdown. The band also shared a second song from “Internal Incarceration”, “Sick Statistic” a new version of a previously released compilation track that takes an empathetic view of the opioid crisis in America.
