Die Metalcore-Band Pistacia aus Boston hat aus ihrer “Edgy”-EP einen Song samt Musikvideo ausgekoppelt. “It Was The Cat” heißt das Stück und ist weiter unten zu hören. In der Info wird der Track als “homage to self-harm” beschrieben. Die Band beschreibt in ihren Texten ernste Themen und kombiniert diese mit harter Musik. Die Band sagt über das Release “Edgy” folgendes:
“At our inception, having some sort of overarching principle seemed like an open question, a sun at which we dare not look too long—it seemed daunting. How do we make our disparate agents, these myriad tastes and backgrounds, and ideas and emotions thrive, and not simply collide? What was once a threat is a challenge we’ve willingly accepted; let’s redefine rock in our image—in one word if you will—edgy. We stitch together the jagged edges of unwanted puzzle pieces left discarded in the bin; our collage knows no two parts that its whole won’t embrace graciously…the red and black, the fusion, funk and slam, the upbeat harmonic ecstasy of a chorus and the atonal cataclysm that preceded it and often follows menacingly.”
Auf der EP behandelt jeder Track grob oder intensiver das Thema “mental illness”.
“Edgy” erschien am 21. Oktober 2022 und ist auf Spotify, Apple Music und Pistacia.bandcamp.com erhältlich.
