Featuring members of Comeback Kid and Misery Signals, BREACH return with their nostalgic new single COLD, and announce their self-titled debut EP, BREACH, out Friday 30 October via Greyscale Records.
COLD dives further into the band’s exploration of nu-metal, hardcore and industrial metalcore, mixing eerie, 90s-inspired soundscapes with deep, rumbling vocals. The single digs into inherited pain and the scars left behind by a parent, confronting the cycle of hurt that can be passed from one generation to the next. It’s about growing up with wounds buried beneath religion, “teaching” and misplaced ideas of forgiveness.
“The tragedy is that sometimes a person who spends their entire childhood being hurt becomes so consumed by that pain that they begin to pass it on,” says the band. “They project their anger, their fear, their hatred, and their tortured sense of self onto someone else. The cycle continues and suddenly the victim becomes the one causing the damage. COLD is about confronting that cycle. About the terrifying realization that being hurt doesn’t make you incapable of hurting others. You have to open yourself up to understanding that pain. And that, at some point, you have to decide whether you’re going to carry the pain you were given, or finally put it down before it becomes someone else’s.”
