Australian alternative metal band Future Static will unveil their debut album this November.
Announced today, the band’s new album Liminality will be released on November 24 via Wild Thing Records. The 12-track release was produced, mixed, and mastered by Christopher Vernon (Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument). The album will include previously released singles “Waves” and last year’s “Venenosa.”
A new single from the record titled “Roach Queen” arrives with a music video directed by Colin Jeffs (Make Them Suffer, Alpha Wolf). Future Static vocalist Amariah Cook said this about the song and accompanying music video, which can be seen below:
“'Roach Queen' talks about a traumatic experience I had as a child in the first apartment my family and I lived in when we moved to Barcelona”, Amariah recalls. “The place was infested by cockroaches, and for a long while, I was having nightmares where they would climb into my mouth while I slept, possibly causing a more severe illness to materialize at the time.
Colin absolutely nailed the execution, utilizing horror aesthetics and the authoritative figure of the ‘Queen’ as a representation of overcoming personal demons and trauma.”
Pre-orders for Liminality can be made here.
Starting next week, Future Static will tour Europe and the U.K. with The Omnific, Walkways, and Shell Beach. Tour dates and tickets can be found here.
