Metallic post-hardcore outfit KEN MODE have debuted a new song off their forthcoming album, ‘Entrench’. The new track, “The Promises of God” is streaming now at Stereogum.com. “The Promises of God” includes guest vocal contributions provided by Dave Verellen (BOTCH/NARROWS).
Regarding the new song, frontman Jesse Matthewson said: “On “The Promises of God” we decided to let some of our 90’s/00’s hardcore muscles flex a little bit, and what better way to cap off that veritable riff pose-down than to acquire the vocal services the legendary BOTCH / NARROWS frontman Dave Verellen. Needless to say, as a fan of this style of messed up noisy hardcore, it was a trip to hear Dave sing together with Andrew and I on this track for the first time. This was the last song to come together in the ‘Entrench’ writing cycle, and as a result, I feel it’s starting to show the true potential of this current line-up’s writing prowess. As a song and a concept, it makes me excited for the future as even lyrically, to put it bluntly, it’s about having your cake and eating it too.”
