Last November, Chicago, Illinois-based metal outfit REPENTANCE released its latest EP, “Volume I – Reborn”, via Noble Demon. The effort contained five tracks of aggressive, fast-paced and technical compositions, amplified by a tight and sharp production, which were praised by fans and critics alike. From said EP, the band has just released a brand new music video for the song “Down In The Water”, which was directed, shot, and edited by Alex Zarek, with lighting design and programming by Brian Olivo.
REPENTANCE vocalist Adam Gilley stated about “Down In The Water”: “The song is about trying to overcome the struggles from within and ultimately succumbing to the demons of disease in the end.”
REPENTANCE guitarist and band founder Shaun Glass added: “When writing the new material, I really wanted to make sure each song had their own identity yet fit into the sound of the band. With this track, the main verse riff set the pace for a dark heavy groove that doesn’t let up and brings the listener in a twisted journey… Adam’s King-Kong-sized vocals put the stamp on this song and also this is my first song that I actually also handled the guitar solo, which is a nice tribute to Dimebag Darrell (PANTERA) and Jeff Hanneman (SLAYER) – RIP.”
“Volume I – Reborn” will finally be available on vinyl on March 30, after a long wait caused by the current situation in pressing plants worldwide.
REPENTANCE will play its next concert on Saturday, April 2 at Cobra Lounge in Chicago.
Founded in 2018 by former SOIL and DIRGE WITHIN guitarist Shaun Glass and with a critically acclaimed debut album under their belts (“God For A Day”, 2020), REPENTANCE soon became known for their distinctive heavy yet dynamic sound, packed with details, groove and intensity. Playing numerous shows with high-profile acts such as TRIVIUM, DEVILDRIVER, JINJER, SKULL FIST, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, SACRED REICH and others, REPENTANCE have taken the heavy scene by storm and represent a sound, which is sure to obliterate fans of extreme music everywhere.
“Volume I – Reborn” was produced by Alex Lackner at Accelerated Sound and mixed by Chris Collier at CMC 21 Productions.
