Over the weekend, the worlds of the heavy music scene collided in Buffalo, New York for Every Time I Die’s TID the Season celebration.
Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante came onto some vocal duty to lend a hand for the track, ‘A Serpent’s Touch’ a track which originally features Dying Wish’s Emma Poster.
made her way onto the stage during Knocked Loose’s set to lend her crushing vocals to ‘A Serpent’s Touch’, a song that on record features Dying Wish’s Emma Boster.
Crown The Empire have dropped brand new track ‘InAnother Life’ today. The song features an incredible guest vocal performance from Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox which perfectly compliments Crown The Empire‘s signature sound of massive, angular riffs, a pummellingly heavy rhythm section, sweeping electronic elements and the compelling light vs dark interplay of Andy Leo‘s emotionally-charged clean vocals and HaydenTree‘s visceral screams.
The song release is accompanied by an official music video which can be watched here.
Speaking on the inspiration for the song, vocalist Andy Leo shares: “In Another Life” was the first song we wrote while working on our new album in the studio. The idea initially started because I was talking with a friend of mine about how we both had just gotten out of seriousrelationships during the pandemic. These relationships that were once comforting and safe now felt confining. Because of COVID, my life got completely derailed and I was getting very little sleep. My entire identity was so wrapped up in myability to sing and tour the world that having that taken away from me made me feel like a ghost.
Over the course of the next year I started having crazy dreams and seeing strange things around my house. One night I saw feetrunning up and down the stairs but brushed it off, telling myself I was just imagining things. But then another night my producercame over and mentioned he saw a girl walking up and down the stairs. Aftersome research,I foundout there hadbeen anactress from the1920’s wholived in myhouse. Shewas ahuge partier, sleptveryfewhours,andwasevenclosetothesameageasmewhenshedied.Ireallyconnectedwithherstoryanditinspiredmeto write this song. We thought Courtney from Spiritbox would be the perfect fit for a guest feature and she crushed it. We’re so stoked to have heron “In Another Life.”
Courtney LaPlante adds “I’m excited for you to hear this new song, I’m happy to be a part of it and it’s been stuck in my head for the last four months, nowit’s time for it to get stuck in yours!”
