    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).

lyrics

Traitorous

so, so sick and tired.
this again, yeah it's nothing new
wake up, a lucid dream and i ...
i cant hold on

a vacant stare watching the whole world go by
all that is going to the dogs and their fighting at the door
breaking - this trend - for hate - again and again
if only you could hear, the. traitor. thats. inside

controlling, a war inside the home
its where you feel unknown. alone.
so Lets pretend, im better off this way
wasting all the days
wasting away

all said and done
just like you know it was before
all said and done, just like before

all said and done like you know it was before
just giving ups so easy when there's nothing left to lose
stand up and fight, this one they've heard it before
it's only you that can hear the. traitor. thats. inside

controlling, a war inside the home
its where you feel unknown. alone
so Lets pretend, im better off this way
wasting all the days
wasting away

controlling, a war inside your head
this is where feel unknown. slow death
Lets pretend, i'm better off this way
wasting away days - always

controlling war inside the home
this is where you will feel unknown
its better off this way
waste all the days away
now you're alone
