We believe that ‘The Reckoning’ is the best song to announce the upcoming album. “We self-produced and mixed ‘The Reckoning‘ from start to finish, spending months in the studio crafting our unique sound (heavy, aggressive) taking inspiration from classic metal bands, while also working to bring something new and unique to the table. We chose this song as our first single because it encompasses both the riffs and rhythmic sides of our songwriting, while still having just enough melody to convey the emotion of the lyrics.”
At times I’m literally holding my breath underwater, and there are plenty of moments where Joey is inhaling rain while trying to stay focused on crushing riffs. The video for ‘The Reckoning‘ fits the lyrical metaphor of struggling to breathe while performing. This is also why I became part of the team that started the non-profit group, Reintegration, for people who need help coming out of whatever their version of rock bottom might be.
Moving forward often requires new environments, new interactions and addressing the root of what drives us subconsciously. I’m hoping other people can relate to wanting to be free from harmful patterns. While the song isn’t directly about my life, there isn’t a single section of it that doesn’t also apply to me at one point in my life. I started writing lyrics for ‘The Reckoning’ in regards to a friend of mine struggling with addiction, but shortly into writing I realized how much I relate to the way unhealthy coping methods and destructive behaviors can take hold. It was incredibly formative and meaningful work to me. “Before I started doing music full time again, I worked at a recovery center as a case manager and group therapy facilitator. Born Through Fire, the project featuring As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis and Wolves At The Gate guitarist Joey Alarcon, have premiered a new video for their new song “The Reckoning.” This track will appear on the band’s new album “Purify And Refine,” which is set to be released on April 7 through Seek And Strike.
