We present to you today the latest track, “Rescission,” from five earnest-looking, bearded, black shirt-adorned Scots called Codespeaker. It’s as bleak and monolithic as the structure looming on the quintet’s second full-length, Scavenger, a lurching, dissonant, down-tuned post-metal crusher.
The nine-song Scavenger was recorded and mixed by Pedram Valiani at Outlier Sound (except drums recorded by Malcolm Abbou) and it was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. It’s set for release on CD and digitally via Ripcord Records on November 8. Preorder your copy here.
Here’s what the band had to say about its latest single:
“‘Rescission’ is about brinksmanship and God complexes. We’ve built a world where we have the power to end our own existence and we gamble so much on the idea that, if it comes down to it, someone will flinch first and accept defeat rather than commit to mutual destruction. As we give more and more power to populists, narcissists and self-worshippers, we hand over control to those who’s egos would never allow them to flinch, those who would rather end everything than be seen to lose. What happens when two such people come to blows? How culpable are we for handing such people the reins in the first place?”
