Shrouded in shadows and doused in incriminating emo-punk grit, Adelaide’s favourite theatrical pop-punk outfit Wolf & Chain are uncovering new single ‘An Unfortunate Tale of Two Lovers and an Insatiable Taste for Poison’ (out September 16) ahead of highly-anticipated EP ‘Amor Mortal’, out on October 29.
Exploring the pitfalls of love using teeth-sinking rock-opera narratives and an insatiable desire for danger and darkness, Wolf & Chain are bringing horror back to fairytales. Their recent vampiric single ‘Taste of Blood’ and new track ‘Poison’ provide a tantalising taste of what is to come with the storybook collection of tracks lining their upcoming EP.
Desperate and disconcerting, ‘An Unfortunate Tale of Two Lovers and an Insatiable Taste for Poison’ disarms with turbulent drums and violent guitars as frontman Jack Cumes’ luring vocals pitch and prowl. Moving with high-octane punk-fused chaos, ‘Poison’ is not for the fainthearted, containing an obsessive sonic force that isn’t opposed to crossing certain lines.
“Poison is about blindness to love, how it can manipulate you, consume you and delude you. In the context of the fairytale world, it’s about this character who follows their lover down a dark and destructive path to becoming this ‘Bonnie & Clyde-esque’ junky couple, robbing hospitals for their fix. It overlays this darker shade on a fantastical ideal of love and escape.”
A deliciously damned bite of what’s to come, ‘An Unfortunate Tale of Two Lovers and an Insatiable Taste for Poison’ is out on September 16 ahead of Wolf & Chain’s deadly EP ‘Amor Mortal’ on October 29.
