Pennsylvania’s This or the Apocalypse has today posted a new track on its Myspace page, and the new material is now available for streaming. ‘Charmer‘ is the new track to have been posted, a track from the band’s ‘Haunt What’s Left‘ debut album which is due for release through Good Fight Music on June 22nd.
This or the Apocalypse vocalist Ricky Armellino had the following to say about the meaning behind the new track:
The more I struggle to learn about myself, the more I just abhor the amount our society consumes. It’s disgusting that a religious belief could make one feel empowered enough to irresponsibly destroy and consume other forms of life because they feel that there is an “afterlife” only for themselves and nothing else,” starts Armellino. “
One of my dearest friends calls me a “charmer” because I tend to be cunning and persuasive when I talk to others, it’s a gift and a curse; you can be so convincing that you can even distort the truth in your own eyes and make yourself believe you’re not one of ‘them’, you’re not to blame. I named the song after that nickname because I always want to remind myself that I should be holding myself accountable first, the rest of the world second.
This or the Apocalypse only signed to Good Fight Music back in February, already the band has made powerful progress however and the result of much hard work is soon to be revealed as the band’s debut album gets its release in June.
