Knocked Loose Drops New EP 'A Tear in the Fabric of Life'
On October 13th, hardcore heavy hitter hardcore band Knocked Loose released a brand new EP and animated film A Tear in the Fabric of Life following 2019’s album of the year A Different Shade of Blue.
When these guys released their second EP, the hardcore world was blown away. They managed to outdo everyone's expectations and here they are yet again doing just that. This new EP is the perfect combination of Laughing Tracks and A Different Shade of Blue making way for them to be one of the best hardcore bands around.
Frontman Bryan Garris said of the concept:
"It's a story about extreme grief and the levels a person is willing to go through to get rid of it. The story follows the main character through a traumatic car crash late one night in the woods that leaves his partner deceased, and from there you spiral with him into the depression and guilt that comes with being the cause of something so detrimental.”
“This is the first time we really dove in and tried to create something sonically that evokes a different range of emotions and overall something that introduces tension and anxiety with a massive payoff. The story is told not only through words but through the music as well, which proved to be our biggest challenge in writing. Lyrically this story ended up being much more personal than we initially intended. We started with the idea to tell a fictional story but throughout the process, I found ways to incorporate real feelings of loss and mourning, as well as anger and self-doubt."
"I've always been a very personal writer and this was originally a step away from that, into something more artistic. But in the end, it was just as therapeutic as writing a regular Knocked Loose record, and I think you'll be able to hear that.”
