Long Island, NY hardcore heavyweights, STRAY FROM THE PATH are back with their brand new single “Fortune Teller” and its accompanying music video, available everywhere from UNFD. The blistering track follows hot on the heels of the band’s recently released live album, Smash ‘Em Up: Live In Europe 2019, and is a promising glimpse at what’s to come with more new music on the way from the band’s partnership with UNFD.
Stray From The Path have been bringing their charged-up punk fury and politically outspoken voice to the masses for the better part of two decades and “Fortune Teller” is proof that they aren’t slowing down any time soon. The band’s distinctive blend of groove and aggression has been pushed to breakneck levels with guitarist Tom Williams’ powerful riffs working in tandem with the pummeling rhythm section of Anthony Altamura (bass) and Craig Reynolds (drums). Vocalist Drew Dijorio’s unique hardcore-meets-hip hop delivery is on full display as he lashes out against the myopic outlooks and selfishly misplaced priorities of past generations, demanding and end to apathy towards the suffering of others. Stray From The Path‘s mastery of heaviness and hooks has never been better and “Fortune Teller” is a satisfying hint at the band’s future. Stay tuned for more announcements and new music.
The band describe the song as,
“Musically, a heavily syncopated assault on the senses. Lyrically, a fired-up attack on the status quo. Written as an antidote to the boomer mentality, Fortune Teller is an anthem for building a better future – no matter how badly it’s been laid out by the past.”
Stray From The Path will be continuing their non-stop touring ways with their biggest UK/EU headlining tour to date, featuring support from The Devil Wears Prada, Gideon, and Loathe (tickets available now). More tour dates coming soon, see full itinerary below.
Lyrics:
Firewalk with me
I see my father’s shadow
My soul is critical
My gut, my gravestone
Firewalk with meI’ve talked with ghosts of old
The end to my end is my control
The future’s in my bones
Firewalk with meMy hero is my victim
My angle in the system
messiahs, slave drivers, pensions, prisons
Come on, firewalk with meRun up
My hand is steady, come test me
From the ground up
Build a bridge we’ll burn it up
Firewalk with meThe end to my end is my control
The futures in my bones
Build a bridge we’ll burn it up
Firewalk with meMy fingers feel the fractures
My prophecy, my rapture
The knife that cuts the cancer
Firewalk with meMy fear is not my master
My darkness is my lantern
the question is the answer
Can you firewalk with me?They can’t catch us if we run
We don’t answer to anyoneThe end to my end is my control
The futures in my bonesFirewalk with me
