Disfiguring The Goddess Reveal Unexpected Side Of Upcoming Album With New Single “AWOL”

Disfiguring The Goddess have released a music video for their new single “AWOL,” offering another preview of the project’s upcoming album, Bloom, due out July 31 via Seek And Strike.

The long-running project helmed by Cameron “Big Chocolate” Argon has built a reputation on crushing heaviness, but “AWOL” showcases a more melodic and emotionally driven side of the forthcoming record.

Discussing the track, Argon explained that it arrived late in the writing process and ended up taking on a life of its own.

“Our new single, ‘AWOL,’ came together late in the writing process, when most of the record was already finished. I originally set out to recreate the energy of one of the album’s more punishing tracks and thought I was writing something brutal, intense, and mosh-ready, but what came out was almost the complete opposite.”

“The song ended up revealing a more melodic and emotionally direct side of the record. Vocally, this is one of my favorite performances on the album. I think the vocals across the record are some of the strongest I have ever done, but ‘AWOL’ stands out because of how naturally it balances heaviness with tonal catchiness.”

Argon also revealed that the song’s clean vocal passages were never part of the original plan.

“The clean singing was never planned. I was just mapping out the melody and structure in a clean voice, and when I listened back, I realized the part already had the right character. I kept it exactly like that. I am not a traditional singer, but that unpolished instinct ended up serving the song really well.”

“Structurally, it shifts between 4/4 and 6/8, which gives certain sections a strong sense of movement and lift without changing tempo or key. Lyrically and emotionally, it has an uplifting, push-forward energy, with a touch of that wounded romanticism that has always been part of DTG.”

The release arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming ‘Canadian Heritage Tour’, where they’ll join AngelMaker and Ingested across Canada this summer.
