Opening with the haunting cry of screeching lead guitar, timpani, and pipe organ, the ominous introduction sets the stage for a horrifying climax that never seems to lessen in effect with repeated listens. The dastardly arrival of Earthside’s new song ‘All We Knew And Ever Loved’ is ushered in by a very human spiral of conflict, represented by the dueling drum performance of Earthside’s Ben Shanbrom and featured guest performer, Baard Kolstad of Leprous. The track has been mixed by Randy Staub (Metallica S&M) and mastered by Ted Jenssen.
Earthside have finally unleashed their debut offering in 6 years, in the form of the monumental song and accompanying animation video for ‘All We Knew and Ever Loved’, out now via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group.
