Alternative metal outfit Colepitz have officially announced their long-awaited comeback album, ‘The Time Between’, marking their first full-length release since 2010’s ‘No Tomorrow Tonight’.
The self-produced record is scheduled to arrive on October 23rd via High River Records, with acclaimed producer and mixer Sky Van Hoff (Sleep Token, Rammstein) handling mixing duties.
Speaking about the band’s unexpected return, vocalist Rob Korhonen revealed that the project developed organically after reconnecting with guitarist Ray through guitar lessons.
“Nobody planned a third record. I was taking guitar lessons from Ray, just lessons. I’ve played my whole life and Ray could still show me things. Meanwhile, I was sitting with Shane and Dave Gutter, building songs, because that’s what you do when songs demand building. Ray heard and liked the songs. Lessons turned into something else. What came out was fury, heart, and songcraft. We called it ‘The Time Between.'”
Alongside the album announcement, the band have premiered a lyric video for their latest single, “The Living Dead.” The track serves as the second preview of the album, following the release of “End Of Everything” earlier this summer.
Korhonen described the song as a riff-driven track inspired by classic heavy metal influences.
“‘Living Dead’ is a classic zombie song. It’s also about when people stop thinking for themselves — the kind of thing that’s easy to see happening in the US, although we didn’t set out to write a political song. The riff came first, heavy and Sabbath-leaning, and the rest followed from there. We just let the riff do the work.”
