LIGATURE MARKS presents a brutal new offering in “Weapons.” The single release unveils their darker side as it deviates away from the band’s typical sound to incorporate elements of deathcore and industrial. “Weapons” provides a first glimpse at LIGATURE MARKS‘ forthcoming sophomore full-length album which sees the band pushing the boundaries of their sound.
On “Weapons” vocalist Ben Charles shares: “We wanted to make something that felt dangerous, something that was truly evil, from the song itself to the visuals. This one isn’t meant to feel like a warm hug, it’s meant to make you feel uneasy”.
Dissonance bleeds through the track, connecting the sinews of the bloodthirsty verses and anthemic choruses, marking a triumphant debut from Brad Leadham (keyboards, samples). The accompanying music video draws inspiration from the band’s passion for the horror genre. Guitarist / Director Karl Whinnery: “I told the band, think serial killer’s crawlspace, with a dash of Sicario thrown in.”
“Weapons” was recorded at Falcon Recording Studio with producer and mixing engineer Gabe Johnston. The track was mastered by Troy Glessner. Cover artwork is by Benjamin Charles.
