Following on from the release of “COLONY3” earlier this month, Blood Youth have released a brand new single titled “Something to Numb The Pain”. The new song from the quartet can be listened to below.
“Something To Numb The Pain was one of the first songs written/composed for the new album. We wrote the outro riff whilst on tour in soundcheck in Germany and I ended up just slotting the rest of the song around it. We wanted to tap into a more classic Blood Youth structure/format whilst implementing new elements like solos, synths, drum patterns and vocal ranges. The song’s lyrical theme touches a lot on the subject of fake people. As a band, we’re sick and tired of watching people in this industry and the new bands pop up that aren’t in it for the right reasons think they belong here, and then crash and burn. They’re leeches. And this song is about seeing right through someone. Because when you’ve seen it for so long as we have, you know exactly when it’s there,” says guitarist Chris Pritchard.
The new single wraps up what has been a busy month for the band; with the announcement of new vocalist Harry Rule and embarking on a UK headline tour. These shows will be the former God Complex vocalist’s first live appearances as Blood Youth frontman. Rule was originally teased in the music videos for the previous four singles released this year; “Iron Lung”, “Cells”, “COLONY3” and “Body of Wire”. The latter ending in morse code sequence which teases the potential title of the upcoming album expected later this year.
“Something to Numb The Pain” is out now via Rude Records and can be streamed here.
