Michigan metalcore band Of Virtue serve their new single Cannibals via Arising Empire.
Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Polaris, Hollow Front), with additional production by Chris Shifflett, mixed and mastered by Dan Braunstein (known for his work for Spiritbox, Dayseeker, and Volumes), this new material hits the listener straight in the face.
“‘Cannibals’ is set during one of the most dangerous of my road to recovery from alcohol because I was finally taking accountability,” says vocalist Tyler Ennis. “Before then, I had never noticed how much my choices affected the people around me. Upon reflection, I hated myself for what I had done to them. I was lying, stealing. I was erratic and unpredictable. Overall, I felt that I deserved every bad thing that happened to me. The hardest part was that I felt more worthless in my sober state than while intoxicated and it got to the point where I believed my actions were beyond forgiveness. Because of that dark time in my life, ‘Cannibals’ serves to remind myself that we cannot change the past but only learn from our mistakes and that we shouldn’t let them shape my our of the world in a self-loathing state.“
