May 29, 2019, TORONTO – Sparrows, the Toronto-based post-hardcore outfit whose music Substream Magazine described as “post-hardcore without pretense or apologies,” release their third album, Failed Gods, on Aug. 9 via Sound Anxiety.

Metal Injection offers a preview of the 11-song release, debuting a video for “A Little Crowded Death” (https://metalinjection.net/video/sparrows-goes-quiet-and-then-explodes-on-new-song-a-little-crowded-death), which singer/guitar player Dan Thomson described as “a push off point for the record,” while saying the song made them readdress the entire release. “Failed Gods is an exercise in anxiety and anger,” he adds. “The past few years have been a learning experience about who and what we can trust, and that really coloured our writing this time around. It’s almost like we took off the rose coloured glasses and saw the truth of our surroundings, and decided to torch it to the ground.”
