Under The Under

Description

More than five years after the release of their debut album, The Smothering Arms of Mercy, Melbourne progressive death metal band Growth returns with Remember Me As Fire, the first new music from the long-awaited second chapter of their trilogy, aiming to go beyond the expression of emotions by illustrating the paths of healing while acknowledging its most terrifying aspects. While The Smothering Arms of Mercy was written in a context of decline, illness, and isolation, Under the Under resides in that far more uncomfortable space that follows: what happens when survival is no longer the question and you are forced to confront who you are once the rubble has settled? In the band's own words, healing is not gentle. It is an ugly process. Chaotic, disorienting, and often more confronting than the pain that preceded it. Through this album, Growth questions the dignity we attach to suffering, the comfort of identifying solely with trauma, and the terrifying possibility that we may be more than the stories that kept us alive.For fans of ULCERATE, ZHRINE, GORGUTS.
