COMA HOLE To Release New Album "Hand Of Severance"

Psychedelic doom duo COMA HOLE have announced their thunderous new album, Hand Of Severance, arriving on November 1st, 2024. Lyrically and musically intense, the album dives deep into the impact of the outside world on an individual's state of mind. Hand Of Severance delves into the process of coming to terms with one's self-destructive behaviors. Haunting vocal layers and estranged, repetitive speaking voices function as pieces of the narrator's subconscious, and spaced-out, atmospheric bass sections convey feelings of dissociation. The music swings back and forth between a spacey, dissociative sound and intense distorted sections, conveying rage that follows numbness in an endless cycle. Hand Of Severance captures the emotional, psychological essence of doom from an up-close-and-personal perspective.

Vocalist and bassist Eryka Fir comments, "Sonically I wanted the intro of the record to be a continuation of the former, picking back up where we left off. I thought to start the album with the ending of 'Sinking' which is the last song on the first record, having it briefly build up and then exploding into the first song on the new album. I wanted it to completely contrast with the vibe of our first release because my feelings when writing it were entirely opposite. Most of the songs on the self-titled deal with depression, self loathing and striving for inner connection, while most of the songs on the second are about situations with other people revolving around love + lust, anger, denial, and betrayal."
