NEWS: Harroway refuse to be second best…
Ahead of upcoming shows supporting Inertia next weekend and Diamond Construct in August, Sydney Australian Metalcore upstarts Harroway have dropped a bone crushing new single in “Second Best“. Continuing their descent into darker and heavier territory while drawing from personal struggles and mental health battles, the track was engineered, mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator Mark Williamson at Keywork Audio. Curiously enough there are also additional pre-production and songwriting contributions from Oliver Smith (Inertia) and David De La Hoz (Wither, Belle Haven).
The band comment: “Second Best is about the feeling of dedicating everything you have to a person, relationship, or cause, only to discover you were always disposable. Written through the lens of a corrupt monarch and forgotten followers, the song explores betrayal, exploitation and the rage that follows when loyalty is repaid with abandonment. Every sacrifice, every ounce of faith and every part of yourself given in service is ultimately dismissed in favour of ‘the next best thing’.”
