Fresh off releasing their vicious new singles ‘Empty Vessel and ‘I Used To Be You, post hardcore band LIMBS are back with the explosive ‘Suffering’. Marking the third and final track on the band’s surprise EP, Only The Lonely Know, is out in full today. Listen here

’Suffering’ was written as a therapeutic response to my battle with depression and crippling anxiety. It’s essentially a letter to myself, dwelling on the crucial decision of giving up versus pressing forward,” shares LIMBS vocalist Austin McAuley.

The song is just as the title suggests, a tale of one’s own suffering and the unfortunate realisation of being unable to preserve my own well-being. The lyrics “Forget my name. Watch me as I fade away like an unmarked grave” are a proclamation to the listener, shedding light on the darkness in one’s mind. Wondering if I’d be easily forgotten when I was gone.”

He continues: “This song was especially difficult for me to listen back to initially because it shows a side of myself that I constantly attempted to hide. Nonetheless, themes of optimism and positivity are gently woven into what seems to be a telling of someone giving up completely. As humans, we can be so easily defined by our suffering but our true colours are shown by how we deal with our ever changing existence.

Previously-released EP singles ‘Empty Vessel and ‘I Used To Be You‘ mark the first singles featuring new bassist Chris Klumpp and drummer Joey DiBiase, who officially joined the band earlier this year.
