Metal band Entheos recently announced their new album “Empty On The Inside” coming out on October 23rd via their label Metal blade Records. To make the announcement sweeter Entheos released a new song and video to celebrate titled “Golden Crown”.
Vocalist Chaney Crabb had this to say about the new single :
“‘Golden Crown’ is a song that we spent a few years writing and re-writing until we felt that we really had it right. The chorus of the song was originally written in 2020, long before we began working on this album, and it was so strong that we knew we had to include it on the album. Once the song was finished, it became obvious to us that this was what we wanted to release as our first single. When writing this song, we channeled a lot of our favorite bands and influences from the ‘90s — we were aiming to write a ‘heavier’ version of a ‘90s rock song that included creepy synths, huge chorus and an explosive breakdown.
“Lyrically, the song is about losing yourself in a deeply destructive attachment that feels both empowering and imprisoning. The formed relationship has become inseparable from your identity. The lyric, ‘I’ve worn you like a golden crown year after year,’ represents a burden that is destroying you, but has also become how you define yourself.”
I have had the pleasure of seeing this band live twice the last time recently in support for Jinjer and Crystal Lake. In the two years I’ve seen them apart they have become a tighter band and the production has gone up, this new album is something to look forward too.
Empty On The Inside was produced by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Fallujah, Whitechapel) and mastered by Justin Sturtz at Sterling Sound. The album’s striking visual artwork was created by Zac Shiffer (Nine Inch Nails, Behemoth, Soundgarden).
States the band, “Empty On The Inside is a statement piece for us. From the start, our goal was to capture the raw, visceral energy that made ’90s rock and metal so impactful and timeless by prioritizing authentic performances and our individual voices as musicians over hyper-polished modern production.”
