Electronic-accented metalcore group Attack Attack! are releasing their heavy new album, This Means War, comes out Tuesday! You can hear the song “The Wretched” from the album for the first time below. Vocalist-keyboardist Caleb Shomo fills us in on the song below the stream. Let us know what you think of it in the comments.

REVOLVER What’s this song about?
CALEB SHOMO “The Wretched” is about how hopeless I feel during the middle of everything that happens in the “battle” This Means War was written about. It’s about starting to truly realize things will be changed forever.
It’s also a parallel to the depression problems I’ve had in my own life.

Which part of it did you come up with first?
I’m pretty sure the first part I wrote was the chorus. I just had been messing around with the whole sing scream and had written that part. Once I tracked it, I just went on a finished the song. I was real impressed with how it turned out! Definitely one of my favorites.

Was this an easy song to record?
It was pretty easy. The song just flowed for me. Vocally, it all just sort of came together. But that breakdown in the bridge was really confusing at first. [Laughs] I got that all taken care of, though!

What sort of feedback have you gotten on this song so far?
It’s been all over the board but I think most people have been liking it! The friends I have shown the song and video to have been stoked on it! And fans seem to be into it as well.

  • Sladesolution

    wow, i had hopes but they didn’t really come true. Sadly, this sucks. He is just randomly screaming. The beginning tricks you to thinking it will be good.

    I like it. I know that every time I get used to the current Attack Attack sound it grows and the lineup changes and their sound changes. But it always ends up growing on me and then I jam to it for months.

    this is a bunch of bullshit

    I listened to the whole cd and I gotta say I’m kinda disappointed. Every song has the same djent intro and verse and a poppy chorus. Not much changes through the entire cd. The lyrics for every song are pretty much the same. I feel like they rushed this album and they can do better.

    they have really changed, were are all the lows man they really suck now

  • Carolxblack

    What I’ve heard of the album so far, I think it sounds minted! A lot better than their older stuff, it’s matured a lot! 

  • Bad Kompany

    I reckon it might be pretty good if he would stop screaming!!

  • Cracker

    Much needed improvement from the ditch that you guys fell into, this song flowed so well and sounded great, looking forward to the rest of it!

    @23f8fd1475c83be99c17aedb39f5100e:disqus It doesn’t trick you to think it’s good, it is good! The scream to sing ration is great, and it flows amazing! If this is what the rest of the album will be like then you’ve all got nothing to worry about.

  • Emmagene
