Yorkshire based InVisions have returned to announce their third studio album Deadlock. The announcement also comes with the first single from the upcoming album, “Annihilist“, which offers up crushing riffs and a soaring chorus to showcase the band’s evolved sound. The video for this new track can be viewed below.
The band comments on the track: “”Annihilist” was born from the self-doubt and uncertainty we experienced over the past year and half writing the record. When you lose a part of yourself it’s very easy to get stuck in a nihilistic spiral, second guessing your every move and trying to figure out who you are without that part of your identity. “Annihilist” captured the moment in time where we didn’t know if things would ever get back on track. Whilst it’s a dark and introspective topic the chorus is all about just letting go, leaning into that sinking feeling and just trying to enjoy the show.”
Deadlock was written and self-recorded by the quartet during the lockdown period, the new album follows up their 2019 release Between You & Me. Joe Graves, who has mixed the group’s previous albums, as well as the work of Asking Alexandria and Deaf Havana, was on hand to add the finishing touches to Invisions‘ latest effort. “It’s very much things that we’ve been through as individuals, but also things that a lot of people have been through,” says vocalist Ben Ville. “It’s something a lot of people can relate to, and it’s a lot more personal.”
This December, Invisions will heading out on tour, with support from Ghost Iris. This will be the first opportunity to see new single “Annihilist” as well as any upcoming singles from Deadlock. Venues such as The Key Club, Boston Music Room and Rough Trade will play host to the metalcore heavyweights. Tickets for the tour can be found here.
Deadlock is set for release on February 11th of next year. Pre-orders can be found here, and the artwork as well as the tracklist can be viewed below. For a full review of Deadlock and further news on InVisions, keep it locked on Boolin Tunes.
