Final Gasp to Release Second Album “New Day Symptoms” in February, Featuring “The Apparition”
Final Gasp, a goth post-punk band, has shared details about their upcoming album “New Day Symptoms,” which is set to release on February 27th through Relapse. This sophomore album will feature a brand new single called “The Apparition,” for which a video directed by Caleb Gowett and Bill Politis has been released.
The new album by Final Gasp, titled “New Day Symptoms,” promises to deliver a blend of death rock, post-punk, and hardcore punk that resonates with the anxieties of the modern age. Frontman Jake Murphy’s vocals capture a range of emotions, from a supercharged howl to a remorseful echo. The lead single, “The Apparition,” tells a chilling story of a captain and his crew facing tragic consequences due to bad timing and unforeseen circumstances.
While Final Gasp’s debut album, “Mourning Moon,” drew inspiration from bands like Samhain and Killing Joke, “New Day Symptoms” expands on their sound, offering a communal experience that explores personal trials and dark themes. The band’s creative process for this album was marked by collaboration and open-mindedness, allowing each member to contribute their ideas and perspectives.
Producer Arthur Rizk played a significant role in shaping the band’s sound and pushing them to explore different tones and textures. “New Day Symptoms” is a testament to the band’s willingness to evolve while staying true to their underground roots. Jake Murphy explains that the lyrics on this album are written from an outside perspective, reflecting on what could have been different in certain situations and embracing the idea of moving forward despite past regrets.
The tracklist for “New Day Symptoms” includes songs like “Eternal Silence,” “Look Away,” “Gifted Shame,” and the title track, “New Day Symptoms.” Pre-orders for the album are now available on relapse.com, and fans can catch Final Gasp live at upcoming shows.
The band is excited to share their evolving sound with listeners and hopes to inspire audiences with their music. As Jake Murphy puts it, “We’re going to continue moving forward – you can’t stay in the same place forever. That’s the message of this record and it’s there to resonate for people who may not feel it’s possible.”
Final Gasp’s “New Day Symptoms” promises to be a powerful and authentic rock album that reflects the band’s growth and creative exploration. With its blend of influences and personal insights, this album is poised to make a lasting impact on listeners and leave a mark on the rock music landscape.
