Hellions will release their third album next month.
'Opera Oblivia' is set to arrive on July 29 through UNFD. Discussing the new record, which boasts collaborations with producer Shane Edwards, Northlane's Jonathon Deiley, Ocean Grove’s Sam Bassal and Duane Hazell of Heroes For Hire, guitarist Matthew Gravolin said:
“We would love for 'Opera Oblivia' to be an escape for its listeners, but more than that, we want it to commiserate with people through our common unpleasantries and overwhelming hardships, and also celebrate alongside our inevitable victory. We want people to allow it to befriend them and remain with them long after its sounds fade out.
The title 'Opera Oblivia' came to light a couple of months prior to the album’s recording. Not long after the release of Indian Summer we had all agreed that we wanted to begin work on a project of much larger proportions, and we wanted the ensuing record to have a true-ringing feel of operatic grandeur”
The act-based structure was an epiphany of Anthony's that came to him towards the end of the recording process. His mentality was that we should structure the album as a traditional opera, so when it came to deciding upon the track listing, we did so thematically. This gives the record a loose orientation, complication and resolution in the form of Acts, based on the topics discussed in each song.”
