Celebrating the release of WARRIOR - the new EP from south UK metal outfit TORCHBEARER, out NOW.
"Remove the mask and step into daylight face to face with my dark side. There is 'Catharsis in Karma.’ All Torchbearer songs are personal to my (Andy, frontman) experiences, Catharsis in Karma is particularly poignant for me. It’s a message of self-accountability. We all suffer misfortunes, we have all been disappointed by failure. What’s our reaction to this? If we solely blame another person, a higher power or bad luck, we can be consumed by bitterness and resentment. If we are able to look at ourselves and take responsibility for our own part in this, we can learn from our mistakes, grow from the experience and move forward with positivity.
Riffs from Ollie Gould that represent how he was feeling at the time. The band has had more than their fair share of uncertainty.
"This video conveys who the band really are in their honest and transparent state. Stripped back and hiding behind no gimmicks." - Ollie
- - - THE EP - - -
“This EP covers personal topics such as bereavement, anxiety, trauma, insecurity and self-accountability with the overarching theme of not just endurance, but triumph. Torchbearer do not wallow in despair, but aim to provide a source of hope. This is why “Warrior” was a fitting title-track as the lyrics offer a summary of overcoming these adversities by meeting them head on with courage and conviction, like a warrior heading into battle.” - Andy

Catharsis in Karma
There is light in darkness
There is hope in despair
There is life in death
There is catharis in karma
Every misfortune that has ever befallen me
is the result of my own actions
I pay the penance I accept the consequence
Time to reap what I've sown
Face to face with my demons
I walk into the light
Face to face with my dark side
I will illuminate
There is light in darkness
There is hope in despair
There is life in death
There is catharis in karma
The shame is gone and I longer have to hide
Remove the mask and step into daylight
I will find self satisfaction
In the death of desire
Face to face with my demons
I walk into the light
Face to face with my dark side
I will illuminate
Hold on to what lifts you up
Let go of what drags you down
I will not waste a moment of my precious time
Every ear shall hear the proclamation
Spoken from Mount Olympus on high
Like Prometheus before me I will carry the torch
Face to face with my dark side
