After signing with MNRK Heavy, the Canadian post-metal band Lowheaven will release their debut album, “Ritual Decay,” on August 29. Deftones and Cave In are mentioned in a press release as influences for this record, which was recently preceded by the music video for the song “Chemical Pattern” below.
‘Chemical Pattern‘ embodies the term structured chaos which in itself is what lowheaven communicates. It’s the most punk lowheaven gets. It’s a driving force with the drums behind the wheel. Mikey Buchta
‘Chemical Pattern‘ helps set the album off right; tension builds the entire song and only releases when the song finishes. When piecing together a live show, there wasn’t a question that this was going to be in there—even before being chosen as a single.
Alex Pley
This song has taken on a weight of its own, when you see what’s been going on all around us since the beginning of this year, which is kind of wild since the song was written three years ago. This song was definitely a personal response to the fact that everything around me was melting; there wasn’t a semblance of comfort or familiarity. While a significant amount of ‘Ritual Decay‘ is intensely personal, ‘Chemical Pattern‘ is a look outwards. Let’s be honest, everything is fucked. And I don’t have the way out. Uncertainty is terrifying. Dan Thomson
