Descending deep within the Rabbit Hole dimension and diving straight back into the heart of the unholy trinity’s harrowing trek through the hellish underworld, cinema-core specialists, The Gloom In The Corner once again rejoin the Ronin, Girl of Glass, and Queen of Misanthropy as they hunt for one of literature’s most infamous artifacts via the band’s aptly titled new single Pandora’s Box.
The second of the three mythical items needed to portal the cast back to Earth, retrieving the sunken object was clearly no easy task. And, depicting this struggle, the impactful track takes on the perspective of character Rachel Barker as she’s submerged in a frozen lake, fighting against the elements as well as her own internal turmoil dragging her down.
Featuring vocalist Lauren Babic of Canadian metalcore outfit Red Handed Denial to help narrate Rachel’s chaotic headspace, Pandora’s Box not only adds to Gloom’s ever-expanding lore, but sheds light on the real, and sometimes difficult to talk about struggles that people may encounter when battling mental illness.
