Bodysnatcher has announced that their new full length album Bleed-Abide will be out on April 22nd through MNRK Heavy. Along with the news, the first single called “E.D.A.” was released. You can find the video for the track below.
Kyle Medina, the band’s vocalist, offered the following on the album:
“‘Bleed-Abide‘ is the ultimate culmination of what the band has been building for years, and I believe the best material to date. The instrumentals have matured and become heavier hitting and the lyrics dig deeper personally and more relatable than even ‘This Heavy Void‘. There is something for everyone in this album: slam riffs, breakdowns, two steps, choruses that stick…”
Kyle Shope, the band’s bassist also spoke on the album saying:
“‘Bleed-Abide‘ really showcases the band’s evolution as a whole and in writing through the past four years. I know each of us is extremely happy with the album’s outcome, and we really can’t wait to perform these songs live. A significant part of the writing process involves hearing the music from a live perspective and trying hard to make sure each track lives up to what we expect from it. Super excited for everyone to listen to these songs!”
Kyle Carter, the band’s guitarist offered the following regarding the inspiration for writing “E.D.A.”
“The song is about the feelings I dealt with from my mom’s passing. It talks about how I felt robbed and didn’t even know the real person she was because I was only twelve when she died. It talks about how it feels like her death has defined who I am in so many ways, but I don’t even remember her fully. It’s a tough subject for me even still, and it’s very frustrating and confusing. I feel very strongly about this song, and I hope it helps anyone who might feel a similar way.”
