Straight from the heart of Bristol, one of the epicentres of creativity in the UK, IMMERSE are a band that bring hope for better days. The post-hardcore quartet lay out all the pain, disparity and fears that come with being human. But it’s not all gloom; the band confronts these feelings head on to generate positivity and optimism – “These are unavoidable rights of passage that everyone can relate to. It’s how you confront them and let them affect you that will make you who you are”. There is a sense of unity as the band battles issues together with their fans. IMMERSE have justified their ever-growing presence in the UK music scene, playing shows around the UK with the likes of Holding Absence, Hacktivist and more. Their debut album has already achieved over 1 million streams. The quartet have all experienced dark times in their lives and implore you to “Remember that you are never alone!”. Teeth gritting riffs, soaring choruses and passionate live performances have won them a loyal fanbase which is destined to keep on growing. With their eyes set firmly on the top, these four lads are set to solidify their place in history. IMMERSE WITH US.
Guitarist Tim Brown explains – “Red Shade is the darkest sound we’ve created with our music. It’s about how in life people have become so consumed with themselves that they forget to look out for other people. The world is plagued by selfishness and too many of us choose to ignore basic human decency. The words are backed up by heavy riffs, haunting leads and thumping drums – climaxing to our hardest hitting breakdown yet. We can’t wait to play this one live.”
Red Shade lyrics:
Unaware of the hate we feed
Overshadowed by the greed in our own lives
Nothing left but misery
So self indulged no one gives a fuck about anyone elseWe’re moving too fast too fast too fast
‘Cause everybody’s so afraid to face the truth
And we’ve been living too long in the fast lane
Too deep got us being so heartless
Just hold on
Hold on to youSell your soul to envy and faceless ghosts
In the end you will know you’re nothing
There isn’t anybody here to help you
No more sympathy for the brokenEmpathy
Has never seemed so fucking lost to me
Growing cold to the lives we lead
Faces start to feel, unfamiliarThis place is filled with so much hate
We’re moving too fast too fast too fast
‘Cause everybody’s so afraid to face the truth
And we’ve been living too long in the fast lane
Too deep got us being so heartless
Just hold on
Hold on to you
