French melodic hardcore punk quintet STINKY will release their third full-length album, โOf Lost Things,โ on May 15. The group promotes the new outing with a music video for the albumโs first single, โRevival Fire,โ which can be seen above!
The video for โRevival Fireโ โ a two-minute blast of energy with inspirational lyrics about self-improvement and empowerment โ was filmed at Franceโs largest annual metal festival, Hellfest, where STINKY earned extensive praise for their visceral performance. The track aptly represents the melodic aggression captured on โOf Lost Things,โ the bandโs M-Theory Audio debut.
โOf Lost Thingsโ was recorded in part by Fabien Guilloteau (Hacride, The Necromancers) and features cover artwork by Emy Rojas (Clutch, Ministry, Queens of the Stone Age). The album โ which will be available digitally, as a CD digipak and on limited-edition orange splatter vinyl โ can be pre-ordered at this location.
Since their formation a decade ago, STINKY has played more than 350 concerts across 15 different countries in support of their first two albums, 2015โs โAgainst Wind and Tideโ and 2017โs โFrom Dead-End Street.โ Along the way, the group has shared the stage with the likes of Sick Of It All, Terror, Walls of Jericho and Millencolin.
While the bandโs name might seem curious to some, STINKYโs music unquestionably passes the smell test. Influenced by the likes of Comeback Kid, Bane and Miles Away, the music is a perfect blend of melodic punk/hardcore with a metal edge. The band capably fuses melody with an affinity for violence, making the musicโs quintet a combustible mix of energy and aggression.
Lyrics:
Our failures are what we called experience. To doubt is also to think.
Itโs easier to give up on everything than to sublimate,
My words are poison but my actions are cure.Fire is consuming in me, the desire to become someone better
Must prevail over this apathy that describes me.Falling, getting up, falling again, getting hurt, but knowing oneself!
Burn the kings and the queens of my broken dreams,
Like a mantra these words resonate in me.As an echo these words resonate in me.
Today is gone, tomorrow is a new dare!
