    Rising British heavy metal outfit Internal Conflict released new album ‘APORIA’ via PHD in July 2021 ahead of slot on Bloodstock Festival’s prestigious Sophie Lancaster stage.

    ‘APORIA’ was mixed and mastered by Neil Hudson (Krysthla) at Initiate Audio & Media Studios in Northampton, the pairing of the band and acclaimed producer has resulted in Internal Conflict releasing their finest work to date.

    The news of ‘APORIA’ follows the Leicester five piece metaller’s 2018 ‘Nothing Is Lost’ ep and continues their progressive creativity and innovative take on heavy metal. Part brutal, part melodic, sonically the new songs deliver a deep exploration of modern metal whilst the lyrical themes reflect on society and what it is to be human in deeply challenging times.

    “The name ‘APORIA’ initially spoke of the difficult times we have gone through personally in the last few years, in and outside of the band”, explains frontman Adam Kyle. “From family breakdowns, to mental health struggles, parenthood, life / work balance, and what it means to be a band in an age of digital revolution; all is laid bare. However, with the pandemic and growing cultural divisions, we put our feelings and thoughts into our music as a way to discuss where we, the human race, are right now. Ultimately, we are asking how to achieve happiness in a world that at times feels hopeless and filled with addiction, media influence, wealth or lack thereof, hate, and narcissism.”

    Whilst dark in their lyrical approach, the tracks featured on the new album blend into an overall arc that offers a shining light to listeners. “It’s ok to not be ok, but we want to get better, and we want to help others if we can. This is where our lyrics live, amongst the hustle and bustle of life. We are not a political band, we but are political people. We hurt, we love, and we feel everything around us and channel it into our music”, concludes Kyle.

    The album’s stunning artwork was designed by Dominic Sohor (Raging Speedhorn).

Kingdom of Apathy 05:27
lyrics
Kingdom of Apathy asphyxiation , i cant breathe cos the dirt in the air holds on too tight, for my lungs, are now closed all the stress is addictive anxiously await, the next move fighting for all intents and purposes its what you all wanted taken for granted burden to ourselves, its not too late where are the vows that we're supposed to keep? Nothing but empty promises and broken dreams closing doors and searching for answers - asphyxiation as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy i'm, searching for salvation again, i guess we're tired of asking for the same old shit, now pressure is mounting nothing, will change as it is, abusing ourselves - again time waits for no one begging for mercy, begging for change we are all broken by the world by design ... force fed, and by our own hand what have we become, no-one, nothing is sacred i cant breathe cos the dirt in the air holds on too tight, for my lungs, are now closed all the stress is addictive anxiously await, the next move fighting for all intents and purposes its what you all wanted taken for granted burden to ourselves, its not too late it is not too late where are the vows that we're supposed to keep? Nothing but empty promises and broken dreams closing doors and searching for answers - asphyxiation as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy How could you, do this to, another person like you? How could you, do this to, another, someone like you? How could you, do this to, another person like you? How could you, do this to, another, person How could you, do this to, another person like you? How could you, do this to, another someone

Paresthesia 04:12
lyrics
Paresthesia Paresthesia - a kind of inner torment rip and tearing my soul from the inside out, reaction root and branch, begin anew. its all i've known its happening again. what? was something said and done to break the cycle, now my thoughts are lugging around like a ball and a chain, such affliction wearing you down, staring you down if the cracked old mirror's to be believed you'll never see the light of day that you live for, The apprehesion dreading something to die for needles and pins, crawling the skin holding within, to restrain and hold on living with a sense of purpose (so much that can't hurt us) breath it in deep, adjust and focus. carries on a broken recording, skipping round the subject of the mind, the path leads you down ... The Way ... AWAY The worst enemy here is all my own wearing you down, staring you down if the cracked old mirror's to be believed you'll never see the light of day that you live for, The apprehesion dreading something to live for needles and pins, crawling the skin holding within, to restrain and hold living with a sense of purpose (so much that can't hurt us) breath it in deep, adjust and focus and carries on

Atlas Down 04:28
lyrics
atlas down blank - staring into space, selling souls and dreaming of the end choices made and falling down this is how we get back up scratching the surface - i'm climbing at the walls feed these bad habits - i'm breaking brand new skin Nothing but emptyness wrecking the soul suffer in silence no more you are not alone in holding yourself to account in the void mocking and leading you on, this is not the end, its right there staring right back you had nothing to prove fighting the urge to give in, this is when, we stand back up for today, holding fast, tightened grip on this reality decending, i'm sinking, emptiness wrecking my soul, you never know starving gnawing tearing flesh from bone carving names and making this my own this is where i found my home incarcerated inside of my head, withering purgatory this is where i found my home blackness falls upon the fields, barren are their needs creative souls fall by the wayside, listen as they bleed silent scream, they beg for mercy, preying not to drown tired arms that hold the answer, weighing atlas down hungry for aquired habit, dying for their art sanguine dreams pale into nothing, heavy is the heart leaden is the air around them, vultures circle round ashen is the search for meaning, weighing atlas down decending, i'm sinking, emptiness wrecking my soul, you never know starving gnawing tearing flesh from bone carving names and making this my own this is where i found my home incarcerated inside of my head, withering purgatory this is where i found my home breaking the cycle, cutting the chains, fighting resistance facing yourself and the choices you've made steadfast, the weight of the world YOU'RE NOT ALONE owning the path, yes we've been here before standing straight up to the fight YOU'RE NOT ALONE This is our Home, This is our family never forgot who you are YOU, ARE NOT ALONE

Bleed the Sky 05:16
lyrics
Bleed the Sky we cannot walk this path, erase the growing shadows time to start anew disease in dispair for us, not much hope for the conscious pernicious landscape, the fear of losing ground going without, waves crashing down, cant bare the sound of silence so here we are, stand in the darkness upon the cliff edge falling, for newspeak, numb to suffering bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all but we wont fall, we'll start anew surrounded by all exits, trapped inside with no escape is this a pennance for that which haunts us like a half remembered dream, or a long forgotten past the pride before the fall, what shall be no more fear of losing ground, going without, crashing down bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all but we wont fall, we'll start anew so now the veil is lifted you turned your back on your fellow man and the fools that followed the warning signs were right there but did you try to read them? this willful ignorance, at best a weakness these petty beings that we are gone in a blink of an eye look down upon thee and cry in dispair choose now or soon be chosen extinction eventual no empire lives forever no empire lives forever but we won't fall, we'll start a-new bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all but we wont fall, we'll start anew

Hollow Heart 05:02
lyrics
Hollow Heart smoke, is in the air the city is burning again malcontent, in the culture the class is systematic torn, the rock and hard place the homestead turning sour a sickley taste on the tongue consume and all devoured With poisened words and a hollow heart We face another day.. A thought for the world That's been torn apart We evolve or we decay fake, you'll hear them scream begging for all what they demand they know not what they do now the rot is setting in heads turned in all directions these neoteric trends no one cares, no one listens corrupted by their own ends so we all fall down ... With poisoned words and a hollow heart We face another day.. A thought for the world That's been torn apart We evolve or we decay with envious eyes blame those with the least the working classes stand defeated why? we know the reason tempted, by new distractions Human, a tribal nature kill ... or be killed With poisened words and a hollow heart We face another day.. A thought for the world That's been torn apart We evolve or we decay living the dream, or living the lie nobody cares if it’s wrong or right living the dream, or living the lie nobody cares if we live or die

The Line 05:42
lyrics
The Line plastic paper trails and payment, flying off the rails burning through it all to keep warm, hammering the nails this damned life, planting you down to the floor where you land graves of trees, cracks in the pavement, now watch where you stand don't. miss. out. don't miss out, sale of the century - oh it wont last no, space to grow - no place i know step free from the line that you walk step out of the world that you know breaking the cycles and chains, its not who we're meant to be step free from the line that you walk step out of the world that you know a trip to the other side, is this how the others live? step free from the line cant see the wood for the forest - you wont live trashed, packed down and buried, boxed into your own landfill existence no rest for the low life sold out, where did they go?, now, when are the doors closing and cleansing the air, hold your tongue walking along lets them know that you're there. don't. miss. out. dont miss out sale of the century - oh it wont last no, space to grow - no, place i know [chorus] with hope in my heart, dreams in my fist praying to those that i know don't exist believing the voices , that tell me i'm wrong damning them all, because it is now time to be free stepping away from the line with hope in my heart, and dreams in my fist taking each day like a line from a list reading my story like a tragedy holding on tight while we find our own way to be free stepping away from the line no, space to grow its been too long suffering through all the silence i've wrought this changes the day start anew, plant the seeds of a change this wont be the same

Kayfabe 06:09
lyrics
Kayfabe self obsession for connection play it how you want like the idea of your influence, reaching for the stars aligning in front of the mirror, fairest of them all? maybe that was you, waiting for the fall tell them your name, pay into fame sell your angle, confirmation of their bias say it again like you mean it watch - now the tables turn as youre climbing to nowhere watch - as you crash and burn and no one fucking cares how do you live like this? with no meaningful way to exist so buried in the lies that you tell world, watch the tables turn as you crash and burn, as you crash and burn You're hiding yourself in plain sight, a character, for the stage holding profile over substance, fly into the lights so you said that you were such a good fit, but didnt care what for talking of a show, selling off, selling out so tell them your name, pay into fame sell your angle, confirmation of their bias say it again like you mean it its written in your face, clear as day but i dont think you know Buried in your lies, kayfabe is your lie how do you live like this? with no meaningful way to exist so buried in the lies that you tell world, watch the tables turn as you crash and burn, as you crash and burn watch as you crash and burn watch as you crash and burn watch as you crash and burn now, you are the victim how the tables turned is it like you thought? access to anxiety now showing your fear of missing out of social currency buying into fame selling off, selling out yourself
