A new place to drown8/12/2023 ![]() ![]() “ Everyone has established his role,” Koehler says. “ We really try to find a way, to satisfy the people, that have been there from the beginning and at the same time keep a modern aspect to our work.” The trust within the band makes this kind of thorough songwriting-alchemy possible. “ We have so many fans, that have been there from the beginning and have grown up with us, but at the same time we have new people, that get on board with every album,” Told explains. On the new record, the band finds a skillful balance between their core sound and their natural growth as songwriters and evolving inspirations. It can even be suffocating phenomena.” Told adds: “ Everything that happens in the world can affect your mental state and this fight is so obvious and tangible, that it found it’s way into the songs.” Songs like “Shape Shift” and “September 14 th” deal with the powerlessness towards those that abuse their position of power, while “Infinite” and “Madness” talk about the tribute of mental illnesses and the vicious circles, that could aggravate them. Rousseau explains: “ Everywhere you look, people have to deal with these controlling, invisible forces like anxiety and depression. The songs also introduce the lyrical motives of the album: an exploration of the mental pressure, that, in a world which has to struggle with the personal and social challenges of modern life, seems to be unavoidable. Songs like ‘Burn It Down’ and ‘Infinite’ have already shown their potential for sing-alongs live. The tracks are catchy, have that certain drive with explosive riffs, driving rhythm sections and occasional scream parts. Though compared to their earlier records, ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’ is more pop-punk, less post-hardcore, which isn’t necessarily a negative thing though. With their new record ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’ Silverstein again show the variety of their music – from post-hardcore through emo to punk. To be adventurous has always been a part of what characterizes the band – we concentrate on us moving forward.” Rousseau explains: “F or me, it’s the best way to honor the anniversary by doing what got us thus far. While many bands would take their 20 year anniversary to rest on their laurels of nostalgia, Silverstein (Shane Told (voc), Paul Marc Rousseau (git), Josh Bradford (git), Billy Hamilton (bass) and Paul Koehler (dr)) take this as a time to reflect on how far they’ve come and at the same time use the years of experience to channel something new. In less than one week the Canadian band will release their 10 th studio record ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’, the debut on their new label UNFD.
