Windwaker will release debut album Love Language on May 6 through Fearless Records.
“The record sees themes of adolescence, identity, belonging, nostalgia, mindfulness, death, altered consciousness; displays typical traits of a concept album, but is left very much open-ended lyrically in its ambiguous, open-book type format,” the band explains.
“Love Language defines fear and love as fleeting moments, encouraging listeners to take an intuitive leap in all situations, confront themselves and their surroundings, never taking a moment presented for granted. In a balance of chaos vs. control, we manifest, and must take all things as they come, operating with the best intent. We are alive. We are breathing. We are fear and we are love.”
Tracklist:
“Beautiful”
“Lucy”
“Nighthawk”
“Dopamine Freestyle”
“Me + You, But Mostly Me”
“Glow”
“Trenches”
“Superstitious Fantasy”

“That being said, we knew that the 3 remaining Bats would have to prove our worth with this next album. We wanted to show Cancer Bats fans that an exciting new future was in store for us. To say the stakes were high on this album, would be an understatement. We were all feeling a mix of excitement and nerves as we began tracking the 11 songs that would form this record.”

Monuments – In Stasis
Monuments will release new album In Stasis on April 15 through Century Media Records.
The band said: “We approached this album without the intention of a specific concept. However – three songs in, what was being written ended up sharing a common theme. This feeling of being stuck in the middle, a feeling we experience throughout our lives – within friendships and relationships, love to hate, life to death, belief or non-belief, being in power to total defeat, isolation to freedom.
“Over the past 2 years, we have been faced with many of these trials, and these struggles can be heard throughout the record. This record is a culmination of our greatest triumphs and our deepest struggles. We hope it resonates with you, and brings you closer to equilibrium. We’d like to thank guests Neema Askari (Form Subtract, ex Fellsilent, ex-Monuments), Spencer Sotelo (Periphery, King Mothership), and Mick Gordon (DOOM, Prey, Killer Instinct) for enhancing the record with their unique perspectives.”
Tracklist:
No One Will Teach You (feat. Neema Askari) Lavos
Cardinal Red
Opiate

William K.Z best known for his work in Bethlehem Casuals will release solo album Post Coital Jazz on June 17 through It’s Casual Presents.
“After a year of planning and rehearsing for a tour of my opera ‘Growth of the Silk’ I was pretty exhausted, and COVID and its isolation came as a welcome break,” explains William of the formative period.
“However, at the time quarantine happened, I was alone in a house in Dorset. It was in this house that I would spend 30 days of solitude, collecting old songs, going through a long-term relationship break up, finding my love for alcohol again, and completing Post Coital Jazz.”

When you get to the other side, you will always come out a winner.”

Superlove – Colours
Superlove will release album Colours on April 1 through Rude Records.
“Its one big celebration of music,” says Jacob. “We knew we could write ten big rock songs but I can’t think of anything less interesting. Each song is completely different,” he grins. “We love pop, we love indie, we love heavy music. We adore every genre we’ve covered. We wouldn’t be able to do it with confidence if we weren’t really into it”
“When we started, we’d just turned twenty and wanted to have fun. Because of how special the band felt though, we knew we needed to talk about things that meant something on this album. We wanted to say something important, while trying to be as positive as possible.”
