Playthrough: “Exiled” from Eternal Closure!

In one of those rare occurrences that happen from time to time Montreal, Québec based Eternal Closure have roots that go back more than a decade without having a single member of their original line up in the band currently, such has been the rate of their evolution. Preparing for the release of the first part of an album that has been split in half by the sharpest of blades in “At The Centre Of It All – Chapter I” which is set for 23rd September, the band have offered up a one take vocal performance of “Exiled” from Katrine Castonguay to follow first single “Practice What You Preach” with both offering Metalcore flavoured with Thrash and DJent. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

Guitarist and songwriter Olivier Boitel comments: “This song calms the pace down a little bit, with the emphasis being on vocal harmonies and overall melodic writing. There’s a good amount of clean guitars during the verses (mostly as back and forth with the vocals) and harsh vocals are used sparingly. The song also probably has my favourite guitar solo I’ve ever written. I’ve never been much of a lead guitar player but a big effort was made into improving that for this album. Lyrically, it’s a more introspective song about staying true to yourself and only changing for your own sake, not how society tells you to.”

The band comment: “This Song is one of the softest of the first chapter. The main theme of this song is taking our own place in a society, not following someone’s else influence but also accepting their point of view. This song could also be interpreted as starting something new and feeling insecure about it.”
