ONCE HUMAN Releases Riveting and Heartfelt New Video “Cold Arrival”

Watch HERE!
 
From the Upcoming SCAR WEAVER Out February 11, 2022 on Ear Music
 
ONCE HUMAN is just coming back from their long awaited tour in US with CRADLE OF FILTH and the new video/single “Cold Arrival” is their gift to the fans joining them in those crazy times on that tour! With “Cold Arrival” ONCE HUMAN release their third single from the upcoming new studio album Scar Weaver, hitting the streets on February 11, 2022 on ear Music. The song is written in memory of a friend of the band.
 
Here is a quote from Max Karon: “In the beginning of the pandemic, we as a band lost someone very near and dear to us. Being around Jared was our mutual tether to healthy habits and personal empowerment. He was personable, fun, and a constant source of wisdom. To us, he felt like a permanent, immutable fixture in our lives. He left us suddenly and without warning. These last eighteen months have been a solemn reminder that the lives we lead and the people we know are not immortal. The acknowledgment of that harsh reality is ‘Cold Arrival’.” –
 
The video for “Cold Arrival” was shot on the Lustmord and Tourgasm tour in October 2021 and was directed and edited by Thomas Crane of KillDevil Films. It features additional fan footage.
 
ONCE HUMAN’s Scar Weaver album, pieced together over the last two years, represents a massive step forward for the band. Blessed (or perhaps cursed) with plenty of additional time during the last year’s lockdown situation, the band has been able to refine and redefine their sound, inspired by a sudden creative surge from latest recruit Max Karon. The result is a gloriously idiosyncratic modern metal record, with Hart’s career-best vocal performance as just one of its dazzling revelations. With ONCE HUMAN’s most intense and explosive music to work with, the singer has pushed herself to new heights, showcasing a vastly expanded vocal range in the process.

“Cold Arrival”
Lyrics (by Lauren Hart):
 
I ran so blind Into the blades of your life
Gray and disguised
And peeled my eyes
As they unfurled
The colors of your world cut like a knife
Open wide
Lesions unhealed absorbed the atmosphere
And killed your fight
Prism inside, crushed in two
Devours light with you
 
Cold arrival
Cold arrival
 
Sun on your face is gone and haunting me
All of the ways that you’d alleviate
Your heart, your head
Dawn in the dark
Oh, you radiate part of the soul that won’t let you fade away
(Away)
 
Endure
 
Cauterize the vein of memory
That suffocates mirth of final days
In crimson lakes
Unearth the cage of my chest
To bury you to rest
There is no fight anymore, no
Thought it would be a battle
Not a war
Let go of why you’re in a hole
I know to hold on
To who you were before
 
Cold Arrival
 
My visions, strong in my denial
It’s so vicious when young life expires
Still picture, wrong frame of mind
I know to hold on
To who you were before

ABOUT ONCE HUMAN:
 
Formed in 2014, ONCE HUMAN have steadily established themselves as one of the most distinctive and destructive metal bands of the modern era. Founded by guitarist Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head) and vocalist Lauren Hart, the LA-based quintet have had noses to the grindstone throughout their existence, exhibiting a tireless dedication to live performance and a meticulous approach to capturing their crushing anthems for posterity.
 
Over the course of two full-length albums – 2015’s widely hailed debut The Life I Remember, and 2017’s conceptual tour-de-force Evolution – ONCE HUMAN have pursued a militantly individual path, eschewing contemporary cliché in favour of a versatile and sinewy new strain of brutal but accessible metal, with Lauren’s coruscating vocals providing an endlessly emotive and humane focal point.
 
Four years on from their last album, ONCE HUMAN are primed and ready to launch a fresh assault on hearts and ears. With a line-up completed by long-time bassist Damien Rainaud, drummer Dillon Trollope and second guitarist (and now chief riff-writer) Max Karon, the band have mutated into an even more devastating beast, as demonstrated with face-ripping aplomb on the forthcoming album Scar Weaver.
