Today, Wolves At The Gate followed the release of their new song, “Peace That Starts the War,” with an epic music video. The track is from Eulogies, their fifth studio album, arriving on March 11 via Solid State Records.
Singer/guitarist Steve Cobucci has this to say about the song’s lyrical heft:
“Most of my life was spent battling these inner struggles in a way that caused me to gain no ground against them. I felt that they were totally my burden to bear alone — invisible to all that were around me, yet overwhelming to me in the confines of my mind. It wasn’t until I learned to rest in the peace that I could begin to start the war against all the darkness within me.”
Regarding the development of the song, he shares the unique way it came together over time, saying, “Writing this song was a blast. Joey got the ball rolling when he dropped the main intro riff into our Dropbox. I built the rest of the song from there. We all got together in Columbus for a writing session to finalize the songs, and that’s where it really came to life. Joey wrote the guitar solo and end riff on the spot, and we were all literally yelling, screaming, and cheering him on as he tracked it. The same went for Nick when he tracked his scratch vocals for the end of that song. It was good times.”
Unrestricted by genre conventions and determined to raise the bar with each successive album, Wolves At The Gate deliver music and a message with a firm commitment to passion and authenticity. Tirelessly seeking out the light in seemingly overwhelming darkness, the Midwestern post-hardcore group balances soaring melodies with unrelenting metal and emotional heaviness. Eulogies arrives with confidence and forward motion born from reflection, introspection, and isolation.
