LIGHT THIS CITY Premieres Title Track via Decibel Magazine!
Posted by admin on Apr.24, 2018
Bay Area melodic death metal outfit LIGHT THIS CITY have released the title track to the band’s upcoming fifth LP, and first in a decade, “Terminal Bloom”, through a premiere at Decibel Magazine. The band has also announced a run of West Coast tour dates supporting the LP’s release (check the ‘tour’ page!). Listen to the new song HERE!
LIGHT THIS CITY returns with ten tracks that capture the band’s tendency towards extreme melody and intensity, honoring the Swedish sound of the ‘90s. Having spent the past decade performing and touring in numerous other bands, the five members of LIGHT THIS CITY have only honed and shaped their skills and musicianship since their 2008-released Stormchaser. Terminal Bloom was recorded from December 2017 through February 2018 with Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, California, as with their previous four albums, and is wrapped in the vibrant cover artwork of Tony Midi.
Offers LIGHT THIS CITY’s Ben Murray, “We’re super excited to share the title track from the upcoming record with you all! ‘Terminal Bloom’ is one of the heavier songs on the album, with basically zero melody — just pure thrash! We wanted to release a total banger for the second single to show our fans the diversity of heaviness within the record, and I think this one represents the influences we drive from classic Bay Area thrash and death metal. The song is definitely a ripper, and an unrelenting example of the pace of the album. We hope you enjoy it! Turn it up loud.”
