Ferocious post-deathcore act BURIAL PATH present their latest single "A Display of Penance". The unfaltering brutality of this shadowy offering sees the band present a haunting sonic display of enduring struggles with mental illness.
An introspective and raw track, lyrically "A Display of Penance" draws upon parasitic imagery to illustrate the ongoing and often repeating nature of depression. BURIAL PATH craft an eerie atmosphere that bleeds through the single's crushing instrumental arrangement.
Vocalist Maya Pobst shares, "'A Display of Penance' is a song about mental health and how it can latch on like a psychological parasite. Most of the song is from the parasite's perspective, finding its new victim to latch onto and corrupt from the inside." Pobst continues, "Over time, the host almost finds comfort in the familiarity of the Parasite despite the great deal of pain it's causing. As we move into the interlude and verse 2, the host has decided to fight back against its mental oppressor and seeks to destroy it, only for it to eventually come back and be ever so present by the end of the song. To me this represents the cyclic journey of dealing with mental illness and experiencing the periods of mania versus depression."
