NYC post-punk act A Cloud of Ravens have unveiled their new single "Parable.”
An accompanying music video, which was directed by the act, can be seen below. Vocalist Matthew McIntosh said this about the new song:
"In some ways, 'Parable' channels Einstein’s definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Though dense in metaphor, 'Parable' is asking - how dire do things need to get in this world for us to realize, as a society and culturally, that maybe something needs to shift as far as how we honor each other, the futility of war, and how we treat the environment? We’ve got one planet, and we’re on it together whether we like it or not. Doesn’t the path of least resistance ultimately make the most sense?"
“Parable” comes from the act’s forthcoming studio album Lost Hymns, which will arrive on April 28 via Nexilis Records. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Starting next month, A Cloud of Ravens will embark on an European tour supporting Then Comes Silence. In May, the act will support Clan of Xymox & Curse Mackey on their North American tour. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
