Waterlines Release New Single 'Giant Killers'
Northern UK EDM metalcore powerhouses Waterlines have been thrilling live crowds all over the country across the Summer. Now they're delighted to be bringing you their first new music in over a year! Their brand new single is called 'Giant Killers', and it is a metal rave anthem for the ages. Established as one of the highlights of the Waterlines live set at recent shows, the band are delighted to now bring 'Giant Killers' to the masses.
The music video is the perfect visual representation of the song, with the band partying like there's no tomorrow.
'Giant Killers' is the first of many new songs that will emerge from Waterlines over the next year or so. To find out more about' Giant Killers', we'll hand you over to Waterlines frontman Benji Mars:
"I wrote Giant Killers as a love letter to my friends and equals in the scene. I’ve seen blood and sweat poured into shows at 100 cap venues that would knock the teeth out of most arena bands.
On any given day there is an unknown band out there, giving their tiny fan population everything they’ve fucking got, and every now and then one of us might get the opportunity to prove it, and prove that we are more than the sum of our parts.
It’s an ode to the underground, the bands who graft and never get the break, the countless hours behind the scenes for a shot at the one social post that goes viral. I live and breathe that scene, I am and always will be a part of it.
There is a group of bands just below the shimmering surface of metal, who have been ready for a chance they’re not going to get, for years, but they keep going and keep giving it everything.
The bottom line of the festival poster, the last track on the playlist, number 101 in the 100 hottest tracks.
The Giant Killers."
Loved Benji’s quote calling this track a love letter to the local scene. It’s mate-ship at its finest seeing local bands pour absolute heart into tiny 100-cap venues night after night. Studying cultural subcultures for an anthropology assignment writing service project recently made me think about how tightly knit these underground music communities really are across different cities. There’s something special about bands that graft relentlessly despite being right at the bottom of a festival lineup. The blending of EDM and metalcore sounds like a cracker live combo as well. Keen to see how the rest of their upcoming releases shape up over the year.
Calling Giant Killers a metal rave anthem, after more than a year without new music from the Northern UK EDM metalcore outfit, gives Waterlines a clear statement of intent. The note that the track was already a highlight of recent live sets suggests the single grew out of the stage rather than the studio. Music and culture coverage of this kind is where AI Fruit tends to be relevant.
