Kaonashi, the experimental post-hardcore band, will be releasing their new EP, A Second Chance At Forever: The Brilliant Lies From Casey Diamond through Equal Vision Records on July 26th. Along with the announcement the band debuted the video for the first single, “Passing Through The Hourglass”, which is available to check out below. The release will continue the concepts from the band’s previous releases.
Peter Rono, the band’s vocalist, offered:
“These songs make up a fictional story but it’s rooted in our personal experiences. We are starting from the ending and moving to the beginning. On the 2021 LP [‘Dear Lemon House, You Ruined Me: Senior Year’], it’s about Jamie and it’s the tragedy that happens on graduation day. The last release [2024’s ‘The 3 Faces of Beauty: A Violent Misinterpretation Of Morgan Montgomery’] is about Morgan and their junior year. And this album is about Casey and reveals more about how we ended up at this tragedy.”
