Mathcore / chaptic hardcore gods CONVERGE have shared their new collaborative song “Coil”, coming from their upcoming Bloodmoon: I album, an epic collaboration between Converge, Chelsea Wolfe and Ben Chisholm, and Stephen Brodsky (Cave In, Mutoid Man). Pre-order the album here.
Converge’s Jacob Bannon comments: “‘Coil’ turned out to be one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part of. There is an infectious, slow build that ends up becoming theatrical in tone. Lyrically, it was a true collaboration, with all of us expanding on each other’s ideas as they came to be. I believe Chelsea’s vocal was the starting point in that for this one.”
“Kurt really pushed vocal harmonies to a new level as well. Encouraging many of Steve’s ideas while we were in the studio tracking together. This one really has every one of us firing on all cylinders creatively.”
Lyrics:
venomously
winding and weaving
blood and ivory
obscure beliefa hidden hunger
writhing and seething
basking in the warmth
of love unseenit’s like
a serpent coiled inside
it’s like
the sun shone on serpent’s lies
and it’s like this life
this lifeit’s like a serpent
coiled inside me
sign of the sacred song
slithering sweetly
odd with intention
this coil furls on and onslither with odd intentions
this coil furls on and on
the sacred songvenomously
winding and weaving
blood and ivory
obscure beliefa hidden hunger
writhing and seething
basking in the warmth
of love unseenit’s like
a serpent coiled inside
it’s like
the sun shone on serpent’s liesand it’s like
this life, this lifeit’s like a serpent
coiled inside me
sign of the sacred song
slithering sweetly
odd with intention
this coil furls on and onsign of the sacred song
this coil furls on and onsign of the sacred song
this coil furls on and on
basking in the warmth
of love unseen
this coil furls on and on
