Grayscale Releases New Song “Don't Leave Me In The Dark”
Philadelphia-based rock band Grayscale, consisting of Collin Walsh (vocals/guitar), Andrew Kyne (lead guitar), Dallas Molster (rhythm guitar) and Nick Veno (drums), will release their upcoming fourth studio album “The Hart” on January 31, 2024.
From the album, the band released the sixth single called “Don't Leave Me In The Dark” along with a music video on November 22, 2024.
The track was written by Collin Walsh, Dan Swank, Danen Reed Rector, Dallas Molster, Nick Veno, and Andrew Kyne. Produced by Danen Reed Rector and Eric Palmquist.
The band said of the song, “This song is about a lot of things. Pain, loneliness, anger... but the 'dark' looks different for everyone. What are you afraid of?”
The new album is their first LP in four years since the 2021 album “Umbra”.
Also, it is the first release as an independent artist.
The album comprises a 12-track, produced by Danen Reed Rector, Eric Palmquist, John Samuel Gerhart, and Eli Hurts.- The band said of the album, “This is the longest amount of time we've ever taken between records, and it's the longest amount of time we've ever spent working on a single album. In that time, we've experienced quite a lot. Not only as individuals, but also as friends a collective unit.”
They continued, “Addictions, deaths, losing our religion, finding it again, and pulling each other out of (and sometimes through) all the grief that came along with it. It was the most painful period of our lives as humans, and yet it is the closest we've ever been. Things change as you grow older, but at the same time they kind of don't change at all. We've known each other for most of our lives at this point, and have been able to count on each other no matter what since the day we met.” -
They added, “But this is not a record about nostalgia. It's about growth, facing the very real and difficult parts of life, dealing with pain, and overcoming it all spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. It is about healing. It is a collection of real life stories, through real life events.”
The band said of the album title, “We were going to name this record, 'The Heart.' It felt like a more meaningful name than the record being self-titled, but still holding the same sentiment. 'Hart', though, is the maiden name of one of our grandmothers. It's a name that was carried by a strong Irish catholic woman, someone who represented who we are and how we grew up. Someone who loved to laugh and loved to fight.”
They continued, “Someone who was truly herself. Someone from the same bloodline. After all, this record was quite literally made through blood, sweat, and tears with each other. Heart is being there at a moment's notice when your friend's parent is dying. Heart is 'I hate you right now but I'm not going anywhere because I love you'. It's the real love. The deep kind that you only get to share with a small handful of people in a lifetime. We're lucky we have it with each other. We're lucky we have you all too.” - source : Apple Music
