Metalcore heavyweights, Counterparts have released “Whispers of Your Death“, the second single from their upcoming album, A Eulogy For Those Still Here. Following lead single, “Unwavering Vow”, the new track continues to tease an ever darker and more aggressive Counterparts than ever before.
Of the song, vocalist Brendan Murphy said, “I feel like anyone who has been following the band/me pre-pandemic knew this was coming, but this song is about my cat Kuma. My ex and I rescued him just under two years ago and he is hands down the sole reason I stuck around long enough to even make this record. Shortly after he was rescued, we developed a special bond and now I can’t imagine my life without him. Unfortunately in the first few months we had him, he became very sick and almost died due to complications of a blood parasite while being FIV positive. Nobody believed he would make it… but luckily he is still here with us and currently doing great. Being his dad is hands down the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life and also what I am most proud of. I love him more than anything in the world and this song is my tribute to him for quite literally giving me a reason to live. 07/26/2020.”
A Eulogy For Those Still Here, out October 7th, 2022 via New Damage Records, marks Counterparts seventh full-length album. The upcoming record finds the band tapping into a deep sense of dread that pushes their visceral sound to even greater extremes. It’s an album that revolves around uncertainty but results in the group’s most definitive statement to date. It is available for pre-order now HERE.
