The Portland, Oregon, doomers WITCH MOUNTAIN have unveiled "Priceless Pain", which is the first studio recording they’ve had since their self-titled LP last year.
The new tune is a screamy piece with Kayla Dixon on vocals. WITCH MOUNTAIN recently made a tour in the states with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY.
“When I first heard the music for "Priceless Pain", I instantly knew what I wanted the song to be about, writes vocalist Kayla Dixon.
“I had recently been viscerally affected by the (not so new) news of the Amazon rainforest burning. I however sadly, wasn’t surprised. Humanity has, in a very short amount of time, almost completely ravaged this earth. I was even less surprised when I found out that the fires were caused by ‘controlled’ burns to clear way for cattle ranching. According to the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies website, ‘Cattle ranching is the largest driver of deforestation in every Amazon country, accounting for 80% of current deforestation rates.’ Many of us want to believe that we’re not alone in this universe, yet the idea of extraterrestrial life frightens some of us. In this song, I want to urge the listener to consider the ‘why’ behind that fear. Might it be that our fear is caused by the conscience that we’ve buried so deep within ourselves that we hardly recognize it? If you reduce earth’s existence down to 46 years, you’ll realize that humans have been on this planet for 4 hours. That would mean that we have managed to destroy about half of the earth’s forests in one minute. This song is my best guess at what might happen if we were visited by a more intelligent and sophisticated species. I believe we’d been seen as a cancer and swiftly removed. My hope is that people will read these lyrics and make changes to their lives on an individual scale to contribute to fixing what we’ve broken.”
Today's tune "Priceless Pain" is the latest single. It was released September 20, 2019. Video was Animated and Directed by Don Noble. Enjoy!
