Isolant Premiere New Song “Inner Tomb”
Isolant have shared a new track called “Inner Tomb.” This song will appear on their new EP “Drain,” which is set to be released on February 24. The band told No Echo the following about the single:
"'Inner Tomb' is a song that ties in with the broader Isolant concept of total isolation and of personifying the feeling of crushing isolation. The album title, Drain, covers this meaning in a broader sense, essentially referring to the draining of the human being, of its humanity, of light, of life.
The song explores concepts of the grave within one self, or the feeling of being dead inside, where the further you withdraw inside yourself to seek shelter and isolation from a cruel and unfair world, the more that world follows you inward, and the lonelier and empty you feel finding no shelter from it whatsoever as you eventually just face the scars and damage that have been inside you all along, mainly due to the depersonalization and alienation created by society's dehumanizing effects.
'Inner Tomb' was recorded remotely between members using simple home setups which resulted in a crude, visceral and bottom-caving sound, as we melded together influences coming from '90s British industrial and stenchcore, doom metal and various other more subtle influences from industrial noise and dark ambient. The vocals leaned more toward a 'blackened' direction in an effort to exalt a feeling of inhumanity and negativity."
