Brisbane/Meanjin metalcore outfit Wildheart are today sharing an exclusive look at the video for their new single ‘Evergreen’, and accompany the single with news of their sophomore album Searching For Life Beyond Tragedy which will see its release Friday, 15th November.
Searching For Life Beyond Tragedy is home to eight poignant and scorchingly heavy new tracks, including the previously released ‘Withered’. The album delves into themes varying from political frustration, mental health awareness and social injustices.
PREMIERE: Wildheart – ‘Evergreen’
‘Evergreen’ is central to Wildheart’s message, targeting the inaction of leaders in a time of crisis. In a world where the cost of living is rising and news of conflict, discrimination and global climate disasters are bombarding media platforms, Wildheart calls for tangible action from those in power.
“This song’s original intent feels more relevant than ever in light of the fact that we are a year into witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people,” tells the band. “Whilst this song wasn’t specifically written about Gaza, it touches on Capitalism, Western Imperialism and the ongoing rise of the Fascist Right, which, in light of the ongoing events, we want to raise our voices for.”
They continue: “We have a platform, so we need to stand up and keep making our voices heard. We want to leave a better world for those who come after us, and we’ll carry the torch as long as we can so when it’s time to pass it over to the next generation of hardcore bands we’ll be sure we did what we could.”
Through their music and advocacy over the years, the band has earned a long list of accolades; Wildheart’s debut album Global Crisis – named 2022 Gold Coast Music Awards Release of the Year – debuted at #10 on Australian Independent Record Labels Associations charts. They’ve also been nominated as finalists at Gold Coast Music Awards, Queensland Music Awards, and for the Environmental Music Prize.
Wildheart passionately advocate for open conversation and action surrounding mental health, social injustice, and discrimination. The quintet have jumped from strength to strength, earning them their shot at Australian music festivals including UNIFY Gathering, BIGSOUND, Thrashville, Bleach, and Fireball Festival, as well as playing sold-out shows across a multitude of Queensland venues and performing alongside heavyweight acts; Stick To Your Guns (USA), Holding Absence (UK), Northlane, Alpha Wolf and more.
