Rockportaal: “Phenomena is bruut en de nummers hebben een onvoorstelbare snelheid. Voor mensen die death-/metalcore een warm hart toedragen en nieuwsgiering zijn naar een vermenigvuldiging van All That Remains, Unearth en Meshuggah zijn bij Within The Ruins aan het goede adres”.
Op 3 maart wordt het langverwachte album Halfway Human op de markt gebracht door Long Branch Records / SPV. Vooruitlopend op het album is de eerste single Death Of The Rockstar vrijgegeven via www.revolvermag.com.
“Death of the Rockstar stems from our distaste for the current state of the music industry,” says guitarist Joe Cocchi. “Death Of The Rockstar” is the first track released off their forthcoming LP. “The song is straight forward and speaks for itself. We live in an era where mindlessness and fads now trump true art and creativity. The music industry is polluted. Please enjoy.”
“The writing process was a bit different for this album,” says Cocchi. “We took a step back and kind of reviewed some of our older material. Typically we’d rush and blast out a group of songs and then hit the studio. At the time it felt right. And It had a more organic feel. Now because of a combination of maturity and honestly just feeling sick of the same old formula, we really focused on creating something different sounding.”
