Influential American post-hardcore band Saosin has released their video for “Racing Toward a Red Light,” the second song to debut off their upcoming album Along the Shadow, out on May 20 via Epitaph. This is their first new material since 2009 and first ever full-length album with original singer, Anthony Green.
The first new Saosin song reveal “The Silver String” explored the band’s melodic side. But “Racing Toward a Red Light” is an aggressive and riff-heavy song that showcases technique and precision.
Saosin’s earliest beginnings packed a full career’s worth of creativity and momentum into one short year, with a scene-defining blend of heady artistic intellectualism and passion. Along the Shadow is an adventurous rush of energy; equal parts confidence and vulnerability. It is the total musical experience of the classic Saosin line up: vocalist/lyricist Anthony Green, guitarist Beau Burchell, bassist Chris Sorenson, and drummer Alex Rodriguez. Sorenson produced Along the Shadow and Burchell engineered, with Green’s longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Title Fight, mewithoutYou) handling vocal production. Along the Shadow is the homecoming of Green whose instantly recognizable signature vocals and ambitious creative energy fuels an accomplished body of work. It is an album that straddles the line between metalcore angst and melodic experimentalism; a perfect balance of what makes Saosin‘s music both pretty and brutal.
