Welsh metalcore band Continents are today proud to announce details of their forthcoming EP Lifeline. Claimed by the band as an “EP for the overthinkers”, Lifeline sees Continents create the most authentic version of themselves. The EP will be released on November 24, 2023 and is available on a limited translucent purple Cassette.
Sharing his outlook on their upcoming EP Continents vocalist Philip Cross mentions – “Lifeline is about being giving another chance and failing at suicide……don’t let the sadness and intrusive thoughts win.” The EP tackles messages of mental health, something that is very close to the band’s hearts. Philip continues to share – “The artwork has a concept with 6 meanings. We’ve created a ghost figure as a simple way to represent six quite difficult concepts in mental health. The smiling mask represents the fake smile of a narcissist and the idea of smiling to hide depression, the ghost is both about being haunted by trauma and social anxiety by hiding under a sheet, and the lantern represents both gaslighting and a lamp to find your way out of the darkness.”
Alongside the announcement, Continents have also today dropped the EP’s lead single Hurricane.
