Hot Press Track of the Day: God Is An Astronaut's 'Epitaph'
Ahead of the release of their ninth studio album, which Hot Press will be streaming exclusively in April (watch this space) - here's the newest single from God Is An Astronaut, which came out on March 2.
'Epitaph' is the first single and the title track of God Is An Astronaut’s upcoming album - out on April 27th 2018 via Napalm Records. This opening single sets the tone for an album which deals with pain and loss, but doesn't give into it. Sparse piano motifs face off with energetic rhythms, while shimmering guitar coatings, and eruptions of dense fury breathe life into a journey of melancholic longing.
Speaking about the song, the band said: "We wanted the video to capture the horror, overwhelming grief and the dark reality of an untimely death. The video features post-mortem photography as it directly reflects the subject matter. This song touches on everything from childhood innocence (vulnerability) to the moment you are given the shocking news, to the aftermath that faces a family over a tragic loss.”
