Combustive and ravenously raw, the brand new single The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ) from Australian metalcore band In Hearts Wake merges real-life devastation with vivid sonic dexterity. Releasing today via UNFD, The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ) also features Parkway Drive‘s Winston McCall on guest vocal duties.
Another piercing cut from In Hearts Wake’s forthcoming sixth studio album Incarnation, due out this Friday, July 12, The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ) snapshots the band’s experiences during the 2022 floods that ravaged Northern NSW, with the addition of fellow Byron Bay native McCall adding ferocious gravitas.
“The Flood. Where to start,” shares Taylor. “It was February 2022 and torrential rains hit our home region in Northern Rivers NSW. Entire towns swallowed two stories underwater. Homes and lives were lost. The floods were biblical. My step-dad narrowly escaped out of a second story window by jumping onto a floating mattress.”
