Dying Wish have released the latest track from their excellent forthcoming Symptoms Of Survival album, Path To Your Grave.
The song finds the U.S. hardcore heavyists revisiting the themes of 2021's Fragments Of A Bitter Memory, and looking at the personal journey along the hurt at the centre of the two songs.
"Path To Your Grave was written in mind as Fragments... Part Two," says singer Emma Boster. "Fragments was written about the struggle of my relationship with my stepfather, who was manipulative, controlling, and abusive towards me. That mistreatment has resulted in a lot of unhealthy habits and patterns in my life that I have struggled to move on from.
"Fragments... was me talking about my experience publicly for the first time," she continues. "After expressing my grief, the song concludes with 'I would bury you if I could.' This song also concludes with the same seven words but has a different outlook. Since releasing Fragments, I have grown to a new level of acceptance with my trauma, and this song is about that acceptance. The anger and the hurt is still there, but now, it just stings a little less. It has a much more triumphant expression."
Symptoms Of Survival is released on November 3 via SharpTone.
