Wollongong five-piece Alienist unleash towering metalcore mayhem with their brand new single Prisoner Of You out now. The new track also accompanies the group today announcing their worldwide signing to UNFD. “We are beyond excited to start this journey with UNFD,” Alienist share of their new label home. “We have all grown up idolising bands from this label and to now be a part of it is absolutely surreal!”
Weaving a biting commentary on a toxic relationship alongside catharsis, Prisoner Of You dazzles with its angular riffs, caustic verses and swelling, melodic choruses, pushing Alienist’s hulking prowess into a brand new stratosphere alongside powerful ruminations at its core. The track’s accompanying music video, directed by Ten of Swords Media, captures and amplifies the track’s urgency and energy, with Alienist also showcasing their magnetic live prowess in the process.
“Prisoner Of You is an analysis of a toxic and abusive relationship and how it can feel to be in that situation with no escape in sight, to be a prisoner,” Alienist share of their brand new track. “It comes from an angry perspective towards the abusive person that has attempted to destroy us emotionally or physically and the realisation of how terrible an individual that commits those acts towards someone is. It hopefully serves as a reminder to people that these situations are not okay and to seek help and support if they feel like they’re in a toxic or abusive relationship.”
