In Hearts Wake have announced their sixth full-length album, Incarnation will release on July 12th through UNFD.
Jake Taylor, the band’s vocalist, offered the following on the album:
“‘Incarnation‘ is the shadow counterpart and sequel to the band’s debut album ‘Divination“, with each song inspired by the meaning and ideals of a particular Major Arcana Tarot card. There are 22 Major Arcana Tarot cards in every deck and 11 tracks on each record, bringing the vision to completion 12 years later.
But much like a coin with two sides, cards flipped upside down deliver the reversed meaning. Polarized in every way, ‘Incarnation‘ explores the dark underbelly to mirror and stand diametrically opposite to ‘Divination‘.”
A video for “Hollow Bone (plɹoʍ ǝɥʇ)” has also be dropped, and can be found below. Taylor offered the following on the track:
“Going through a death-of-sorts with Kyle having left the band, ‘Hollow Bone‘ became our reclamation anthem for the band to live on. Since high school we’ve given everything and we weren’t about to give up. Not yet…
Picking up the microphone as a group together for the first time we delivered a melodic chorus. We used actual bones as percussive instruments – symbolic of death’s transformation. This track acting as our stake in the ground. What would you die for?!”
