Harm's Way - Reveal Details For New Album, Share Single
On February 9th, Harm's Way will release their new album, Posthuman. The band's fourth full-length - and Metal Blade Records debut - promises to be a devastating addition to their catalog. For a first preview of Posthuman, the single "Human Carrying Capacity" can be streamed here.
"We've always stayed true to who we are and allowed the songwriting process to take shape organically from record to record, and as the band has progressed, our sound has become more refined with metal and industrial influences," states drummer Chris Mills, while guitarist Bo Lueders succinctly sums up what people can expect when they first spin the record: "To a Harm's Way fan, I would describe Posthuman as a blend of Isolation (2011) and Rust (2015), but it's sonically way more insane. To anyone else, I would simply say it's full on heavy and full on aggression."
"We spent the first three days there doing pre-production and refining the songs to be the best possible versions of themselves," says Mills. "The amount of time we had in creating this record meant we were able to experiment and not have to rush with any aspect of it, and I feel it shows in the end product." The title, Posthuman, aptly summarizes the themes of the record, reflecting a sense of not feeling like a part of the world anymore, whether that be politically, socially, ethically, or emotionally. "It very much pulls from ideas of transcendence, progression, and resilience", Mills elaborates, "and it's very much a push back on traditional ideas of the self and self-actualization. Posthuman to us is about progressing above and beyond the confines of what is considered human, in the physical, psychological, and categorical sense."
