Nashville hardcore quartet Chamber have announced their debut album Cost Of Sacrifice, due for release on 23rd October 2020 through Pure Noise Records.
Speaking of the period during which the album was written and recorded, guitarist Gabe Manuel explains: “We were all going through our own personal struggles and we found solace in working on these songs and getting everything we were feeling out on the table. We are all influenced by a lot of different kinds of music and art, and while it was a challenge to represent all of those things on the record in a cohesive way, we grew as songwriters and musicians as a result of that challenge.”
Produced by Randy LeBoeuf, Cost Of Sacrifice follows Chamber‘s 2019 EP Ripping / Pulling / Tearing. Alongside the album announcement, the band have released a video for lead single In Cleansing Fire. Speaking of the track Manuel comments “This song is an analysis of the ways that the hateful and racist ideals this country was founded on still impact us today. The lyrics are a rejection of the argument that we aren’t responsible for the crimes of our ancestors, and they highlight the hopeless feeling that a lot of people in this country have which gets in the way of real progress. Your voice matters, and if you don’t use it to stand against racial injustice, police brutality and corruption, you are complicit in allowing those things to persist.”
