Better Lovers have released a new standalone single.
The supergroup, comprising members of Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die and Fit For An Autopsy, wrote Two Alive Amongst The Dead while on tour back in the summer.
Clocking in at just under three minutes, the aggressive metalcore rager follows the band's debut EP, 'God Made Me An Animal', which arrived in July. Will Putney commented:
"Two Alive… was birthed on tour this summer. We were having fun with the high energy, aggressive material live, and that cathartic spirit carried into this song. This is a band that never stops having ideas and likes the challenge of showing new music to fans live, so it was performed and fine-tuned on our fall dates, and then immediately tracked in the studio between touring to make sure that fire stayed intact. There is no better feeling than capturing lightning in a bottle like this."
Greg Puciato added: "This song is about saying fuck you to the societal and institutional pressure to fall for “me versus you”/”us versus them” divisional tactics and realizing that we’re stronger when we remember the ways we’re the same, trying to find commonalities instead of differences. Understanding and finding compassion for one another instead of allowing ourselves to be separated and controlled. Brothers and sisters. Pieces of the same consciousness."
Better Lovers will continue work on their SharpTone Records debut album in January, following two sold out special BLissmass shows in Buffalo, New York in December. They'll also appear at a bunch of festivals in 2024, including Sick New World in Las Vegas and 2000trees in the UK.
