Wolves At The Gate have announced their next studio album, ‘Borderland,’ and premiered a music video for its latest single, “Firewall.” The upcoming record will serve as a thematic follow-up to the Christian metalcore band’s 2025 release, ‘Wasteland.’
“Firewall” is the second song to be released from the album so far. The band shared the following thoughts on the track’s subject matter:
“Sometimes, the best way to confront the things that make us most uncomfortable is to express them through art. For us, ‘Firewall’ deals with the uncomfortable realization that we can’t fix ourselves or erase the most broken parts of who we are. It’s about recognizing that the deepest struggles of our hearts can’t be resolved by looking inward or simply trying harder. Maybe our greatest hope is found in putting our trust in the hands of someone greater than ourselves.”
Vocalist and guitarist Steve Cobucci also discussed the narrative connecting ‘Borderland’ to its predecessor, detailing the next chapter in the journey of the character introduced on ‘Wasteland.’
“‘Wasteland’ focused on an individual who embraced living selfishly and lawlessly in the pursuit of life shrouded in the justification that the rest of the world lives the same way. By the end, he is forced to acknowledge the hopelessness of his pursuit and begins to realize that it’s far more destructive than he thought.
So, he leaves the Wasteland — the only world he had known — to seek healing. ‘Borderland’ is the beginning of his journey, but he doesn’t exactly know where to go. He had heard the message of ‘The Great Physician’ who welcomes the lost and sick with kindness and love, but finds it hard to believe in a message that appears to be ‘too good to be true.’”
‘Borderland’ is set to arrive on April 09, 2027, through Solid State Records. Pre-orders are now available here.
