Finnish post-metal greats, Besra, have unveiled their intense new single, Equilibrium, a track which fuses post hardcore and metalcore elements into their characteristic sound, delivering a powerful blend of crushing heaviness and raw emotion.
Mixed by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Russian Circles, Birds in Row) and accompanied by an artful visual from director Laura Matikainen, Equilibrium showcases the band's continuously growing musicianship and unwavering consistency. The track serves as the opening piece for their impending EP, set to arrive on November 1st, 2024 via Suicide Records.
Equilibrium goes deep into a dark, pessimistic view of humanity, exploring themes of greed, hate, and the devastating consequences of mankind's actions. The song brings forward a sense of regret and the inevitability of an impending collapse; both moral and environmental. It comes across as a visceral reflection on the destructiveness of human behavior, underscored by the threat of downfall, making it a powerful entry in Besra's already impressive catalog.
