Harm’s Way - Silent Wolf (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Buy here: “‘Silent Wolf’ was birthed out of observing a sense of persistent distrust in governing bodies and systems of power in our current cultural climate,” tells vocalist James Pligge. “It speaks on the faith, or lack of faith, many have in these systems and an overall feeling of inertia and paranoia with status quo operations... leading many to the question: ’what is really informing our reality?” For nearly two decades, Harm’s Way has evolved from whispered underground favourites to favourite sons with an arsenal of songs that helped shape heavy music’s trajectory – creating a roadmap for legions interested in “reinventing” themselves. Harm’s Way has never stayed complacent and constantly morphed shape– absorbing and reapplying influences in new and creative ways to create some of the most well-executed songs in hardcore punk and metal. And yet, considering the changeling that they and their previous efforts are, Common Suffering is easily the most musically diverse undertaking in their catalogue. The album beams with incredibly memorable riffs, breakdowns, and impeccable songwriting with subtle melody and point/counter-point which kicks off loud and clear on album opener “Silent Wolf”. LYRICS: They worship false leaders blindly A selfless ploy that turns to greed They induce misinformation Deny the system that you feed Watch it all dissipate Degrade, we’re born to decay Corrupt, they will let you down With war, a means to profit Decline, they will let you down They defraud to favor power Seductive words that you believe They coerce for their agenda A silent wolf that you must be We watch it fail Watch it all dissipate Degrade, we’re born to decay Corrupt, they will let you down With war, a means to profit Decline, they will let you down Directed & edited by Finn O’Connell |
