Listen/download: unfd.lnk.to/ShadeAstray
Cursed, from day to day it slips
We guess in gray to fill the moment
To be lost in fiction
Drift on no further
It’s falsely a friend
Salvation could be mischief
We are
Searching for a way to stay
It’s torn in two, we’re forced to wait
Earth, can you feel me
As the sun melts me deeper into your soil
Buried in the whisper
Our hearts getting sicker
Make your move to let go
Fade with me
Won’t you fade, fade with me
‘Cause you’re all, all I see
Why’d you stay, stay away
As it’s far away from me
Drift on no further
Strangle the will within your heart
Craving to be broken down instead of healing in the far
All is gone for you
Falling hard into a space I left you in
As we were almost close
But never felt exposed
And it never left us ripped away
Inside a lucid dream
Won’t you fade, fade with me
‘Cause you’re all, all I see
Why’d you stay, stay away
As it’s far away from me
I can barely feel your skin on mine
You reach through the branches of monoliths
Growing ever old and green
Calling louder in regret
Lost souls stubborn and desperate to die
Growing ever old and green
I’m starting to find my world again
While trying to shed my fears
We suffer through our own bitterness
It swallows us as we fall
Safely stay inside the paradise
Safely stay inside the paradise
Won’t you fade, fade with me
‘Cause you’re all, all I see
Why’d you stay, stay away
As it’s far away from me

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

Drummer Trey Celaya commented on the release with Wall of Sound; ‘Shade Astray’ is a confessional realization that a relationship has run its course. It admits that it fell far from the ideal they had put on a pedestal, leaving both their ego and the relationship shattered when things are broken beyond repair. At this crossroads, the loss you fear the most is exactly what has to happen. Someone stronger than you has to be able to walk away when you are self-sabotaging. And the only wisdom to be gained is the knowledge that you are not the savior. There’s nothing to be salvaged and you must accept failure and let failure be your teacher. It’s a lesson only learned in solitude.

[@connerpollani4033]

Invent, Animate outdoing themselves once again. This is amazing and pretty different from Sun Sleeps/Never Was, but it's still SO good. I swear this is one of the bands that, once when i'm old, will make me look back and think of all the good moments in my life i lived while enjoying this band's beautiful music. Invent, Animate's music has helped me through a lot, after break ups and deaths from my relatives, their music still helps me to keep pushing forward and going strong. Artists who make you feel that way are unique, and Invent surely is unique. Thanks for the beautiful music guys, you've done it once again.

[@Peter_Velardi]

Couldn’t agree more. There’s a ton of great bands/music out there but nothing hits me in the same way IA does. And while a slightly different flavor from Everchanger all the way to now, they all manage to hit in that unique way. Truly masters at their craft. Production on this is just massssive too.

[@ascendancy4900]

@@Peter_Velardi You're on point, buddy, and i couldn't agree more. Their sound from album to album is so different, but whenever you hear their stuff you instantly recognize it and it makes you think 'hey, that's IA!'. I love this band, been a fan from this band since 2016. When Ben left the band i was so sad, i thought they were gonna break up. And then Marcus comes in and absolutely SLAYS with his vocals. I'd dare to say their music is even better now, you can tell the evolution from Stillworld to now.

[@recklessnotion1899]

Been a fan since the Waves and Wolf Skin days and this band just continues to out do themselves with each album. Its insane how IA can blend so many elements of modern metalcore so effortlessly at this point. This song hit all the sweet spots from Marcus soft cleans , to the lows, which all seem to have improved alot. He definitely found his sound in the band. Instrumentals are great as per usual, with the little subtle groove shifts , unpredictable breakdown patterns, random techy sounds/licks, while managing to balance that out with some classic post hard-core elements. If the rest of the album is on this level of quality its definitely going to set a new standard for entire metalcore genre.

@@yash9410503314 Thall is strongly associated with Swedish metal band Vildjharta (originated even I think). Basically a description of their sound which is incredibly unique; heavy atmosphere, very low, polyrhythmic, lots of octave jumps/bends. See Dagger: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ_EdJ-ki9OdlcU. Honestly, genuinely surprised if Invent Animate guys weren't adjacently inspired by them. masstaden remains one of my favorite front to back listens, the artwork and story that accompanies the music is very good too.
