Let’s turn up this Friday with a new release from Wolves at the Gate, “Lights and Fire.” The single comes from the band’s fifth studio album, Eulogies, set to drop on March 11.
The Ohio-based five-piece structured and wrote most of the album during the pandemic’s lockdown, an environment that gave way to a number of “confessional epics.” Vocalist Steve Cobucci shared his thoughts about the “Lights and Fire” track specifically via the band’s press release.
“While all of these songs were quite personal for me, this one held a different weight as it related to a number of the most painful parts of my life. It showed me how I was holding onto things that were actually destructive to me. It was the first time that I truly felt alone. I had to end a relationship that I put a lot of hope in. Soon afterward, I got robbed. My laptop, recording gear, guitars, amps — all gone. I didn’t have the money to replace things. Soon after, I tore my ACL and meniscus, which was a blow to my aspirations to play soccer for a living. All these things combined left me feeling abandoned and asking, ‘What did I do to deserve this? Why me?'”
