This track is filled to the brim with catchy hooks and shredding guitars, putting forth a cinematic energy. “Hate Me” is certain to be a fan favorite off of the forthcoming record that will be in rotation for years to come.“Being in the music industry can take a toll on you in many ways, but it’s also the most rewarding job in the world. To share music that can empower and motivate through hard times is a gift I’m thankful to be a part of. Hate Me is for the person who wants to break the mold of their life and chase their dreams, whatever that may be.” – Telle Smith, TWAEarlier this spring, the band premiered “New Reality” on Octane and it quickly became a fan favorite for old school fans while capturing an army of new listeners; garnering deafeningly loud crowd participation on the latest tour.

| “Atmospheric, dramatic and drenched in drama, all held together by jolts of heaviness, it is an exciting first piece of a new puzzle from the band.” – Rock Sound on “Nocturnal Future” “The Word Alive creates a furious sound in “New Reality.” Melodies flow through complimenting smooth vocals and contrasting powerful screams. The band cultivates a frigid atmosphere that ignites an overall confident dynamic. The video’s visual submerges fans in a spacious world. Camera angles glide through making for hypnotic scenery.” – Outburn Magazine on “New Reality” “The Word Alive are the sort of band that will always take you by surprise. With a career that spans from the most emotional of pop to the most crushing of metalcore, every step is an adventure. And with their latest chapter, that isn’t looking to change. Kicking off the year with the release of “New Reality”, which followed up last year’s drop “Nocturnal Future”, they have shared another new track. And it goes in.” – idobi Radio on “Strange Love” “The song brilliantly blends emotion with its instrumentals throughout. By the time we get to the bridge, emotions are running high. But as soon as the bridge ends, we are once again brought back down to earth with just an acoustic guitar as the chorus repeats. It feels as if we are pleading to whomever we are singing to.” – Ascribe Magazine on “Slow Burn” |
