Where the Wisest Fear to Tread took shape over nearly
four years, growing with us as we pushed and refined the
ideas behind it. The music is close to our hearts, and
we're excited for you to hear it.
There are no heroes or triumphant victories in these
songs. Yet there is persistence in the face of
inevitability, endurance through futility, and an
embrace of that which evokes suffering. Where the Wisest
Fear to Tread explores darkness and realms beyond, from
the terror within waking nightmare, to the stark reality
reflected back in the mirror. The album title itself, a
line from the track "Fell Ritual," serves equally as a
warning and invitation to bear anguish. And while many
of the album's themes draw on personal experience and a
compulsion to look inward, we encourage the listener to
derive their own meaning, or simply none at all. The
record does not offer resolution so much as it documents
the act of pressing forward despite it.
Sonically, we wanted the album to have real weight and
gravity without sacrificing the raw edge of our live
experience. One of our main songwriting philosophies is
to approach the music live-first; It needs to feel full
and complete on stage as one vocalist, guitarist,
bassist, and drummer. To that end, we didn't rely
heavily on studio magic to make the music something it's
not, rather, we used things like overdubs or effects to
embellish on an already-strong core.
