Recently, Melbourne progressive-death outfit Growth emerged with their first new music in over half a decade with the blistering, Remember Me As Fire and Forward, Further, Spirit Killer. Both tracks come from the first new music from the long-awaited second chapter of their planned trilogy, Under The Under which will be released on March 27 via Wild Thing Records.
Today they release Under The Under, the title track from the album. This track dives into the fear of letting go of old stories and asks: who are we without the weight of the past? A haunting meditation on identity, grief, and the courage to uncover what’s beneath.
Lead vocalist LF states: “It’s comforting to be haunted. All that rattling of chains. By surrounding yourself with ghosts, it gives form to everything you’ve lost. They’re something more meaningful than words. Even if your physical and spiritual bodies are starved and in excruciating pain, at least you’ve got ghosts. Without them, the terrifying questions come forward: what if the dignity we give our suffering is false? What if we can still be kind, strong people without dragging that weight? What if you’re more than a collection of stories that keep yourself up at night? Uncovering that is the second step.“
Under the Under is set for release on March 27 via Wild Thing Records. Pre Orders available now
