It's no secret: We love Higher Power. The rising U.K. hardcore star's last LP, Soul Structure, was one of our favorite albums of 2017, recalling the melodic power of Leeway and Life of Agony. But their new song, "Seamless," takes shit next level, evoking with effortless confidence the sonic and emotional range of Deftones. The cut, which the band unleashed today, is set to appear on Higher Power's Roadrunner Records debut, 27 Miles Underwater, due out January 24th.
"'Seamless' was one of the last songs we wrote for the record," says vocalist Jimmy Wizard. "It came together so naturally, we knew from the moment we wrote it that it was going to be the first song we release. It perfectly encapsulates everything the record is about in a short, catchy, heavy song."
Pre-orders for 27 Miles Underwater are available now at all DSPs with exclusive bundles — including limited edition vinyl — available at higherpowerleeds.com. Ahead of the new album, the band has a full slate of live shows including their current North American jaunt supporting Vein and Soft Kill. The run — which also features Modern Color, Dead Heat, Silenus, and Narrow head on select dates — continues tonight, September 6th, with a performance at Buffalo, New York's Rec Room.
