Tampa, FL – October 23, 2020 – Fresh off releasing their vicious new singles “Empty Vessel” and “I Used To Be You,” post hardcore band LIMBS is back with the explosive “Suffering.” The third and final song in the band’s newly announced EP Only The Lonely Know, fans can check out the music video for “Suffering” here: https://youtu.be/QcmhM2lPjHc. Only The Lonely Know is out now via UNFD and can be streamed in full at: https://unfd.lnk.to/OTLK.
“’Suffering’ was written as a therapeutic response to my battle with depression and crippling anxiety. It’s essentially a letter to myself, dwelling on the crucial decision of giving up versus pressing forward,” shares vocalist Austin McAuley. “The song is just as the title suggests, a tale of one’s own suffering and the unfortunate realization of being unable to preserve my own well-being. The lyrics “Forget my name. Watch me as I fade away like an unmarked grave” are a proclamation to the listener, shedding light on the darkness in one’s mind. Wondering if I’d be easily forgotten when I was gone.”
He continues: “This song was especially difficult for me to listen back to initially because it shows a side of myself that I constantly attempted to hide. Nonetheless, themes of optimism and positivity are gently woven into what seems to be a telling of someone giving up completely. As humans, we can be so easily defined by our suffering but our true colors are shown by how we deal with our ever changing existence.”
LIMBS found a home with UNFD in 2018, ahead of the release of their debut album Father’s Son, which gives listeners a dark and brooding look at a young man’s journey out of religion as he comes to terms with both his upbringing and his own actions.. A conceptual album following a young man breaking free from his indoctrinated upbringing, the album explores the harm it causes and the strength in reclaiming your own life.
LIMBS’ live video for their album’s title track, “Father’s Son,” was filmed during the band’s 2018 tour with Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance, and Veil Of Maya. Streaming here, the video captures the electricity and raw power of a LIMBS live show – from headbanging to epic stage dives and beyond. Fans have been able to experience it in person as the band has shared the stage over the years with Beartooth, Motionless In White, Sharptooth, Wristmeetrazor, Stick To Your Guns, and more.
Last year, LIMBS announced that longtime friend Austin McAuley would be stepping into the role of lead vocalist. McCauley debuted with LIMBS at the end of 2018 while on tour with Currents, giving fans a taste of his energy and passion before bringing it into the studio for new music.
McAuley first appeared on “Abandoned,” a hard-hitting track that originally premiered on Metal Injection, and on vicious follow up single “Stare.”
The band recently released “Empty Vessel” and follow up “I Used To Be You,” which marked the first singles featuring new bassist Chris Klumpp and drummer Joey DiBiase, who officially joined the band earlier this year.
