Brisbane heavy hitters APATE have reemerged and they are showing no mercy with their new single "Gasoline Anthem" out today via their new home Human Warfare.
Building on a bedrock of metalcore with a healthy slab of nu metal and smatterings of grunge and industrial influences, dissonance rains down in "Gasoline Anthem". The tag-team vocals from Zakk Ludwig (screams) and Caleb Patch (singing) oscillate as the song reflects upon fracture marks that are present in a family structure and dealing with the trauma later in life.
Zakk Ludwig explains: “Lyrically, Gasoline Anthem is the process I went through as I slowly came to terms with my upbringing and the things I went through. Although I experienced a lot of things that a child should never be subject to, like physical, mental, drug and alcohol abuse, as an adult I have come to realize that it shaped me into who I am now. It has solidified to me that I don’t want to perpetuate the same vicious and violent cycle that was once inflicted on me."
