Today, Tokyo-based metalcore outfit Sailing Before The Wind released a brand new song, “Illuminator,” featuring Clayton King of So It Begins. The track is the band’s first single since releasing their re-recorded EP, Immemorial, last year. It boasts relentless grooves, ruthless guitar leads, and a driving chorus that rips the song open at the seams.
Fueled by bassist and composer, Bitoku Sakamoto (known as a touring bassist for Crystal Lake), Sailing Before The Wind songs frequently feature highly melodic twin guitar leads, metal riffs, and breakdowns, with a variety of influences including Parkway Drive, August Burns Red, and In Flames.
Bitoku has this to say about the band’s latest release:
“The new single is for all the people who’re struggling in believing in themselves. When life seems tough, illuminate the way yourself.”
“Illuminator” is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most other online streaming platforms. If you like what you hear, follow SBTW on Facebook and Instagram.
