NEWS: Burial Path return with “Lilitu”!

American Post Deathcore collective Burial Path, whose vocalist Maya Pobst was recently announced as fronting South African Death Metal brutes Vulvodynia, have shared a foreboding new single “Lilitu“. For the purpose they’re joined by guest vocalist Abigail Bexx as they expose the suffering and oppression of women, lyrically drawing upon religious imagery and ideas that are often used to reinforce patriarchal inequality.

Abigail Bexx: “There’s a quiet pressure that comes with being a woman in extreme music. Before you open your mouth, people have already decided what you’ll sound like, what you’ll be capable of, or whether you belong at all. ‘Lilitu’ was born from that tension. It’s about every woman who’s ever felt reduced to someone else’s expectations and choosing to stand anyway.”

Guitarist Matthew McClure: “‘Lilitu’ is about rejecting imposed identity. The song progresses through several emotions, from recognizing the oppression of imposed identity to reclaiming one’s true identity and the freedom from that imposition. This is a psalm of rejecting the ‘authority’ that imposes identity and fighting the ideology that sustains it.”
