Comeback Kid alone is heavy enough, but adding in Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier takes things to a whole new level. Check out Duplantier on the new track "Crossed" above, featured on the coming Comeback Kid album Heavy Steps due out January 21.
"'Crossed' is a no-frills metallic hardcore track. Lyrically it deals with someone in my life that seemed so far gone and I had to watch them dig themselves further and further into a low and unrealistic place. 'Crossed into the void' so to say," said Comeback Kid vocalist Andrew Neufeld.
"We enlisted Joe from Gojira to represent somewhat of an overlord menacing presence in the song. An overshadowing power via his blood-curdling scream. This song is direct and to the point about staying in reality and warns of the elements that could bring us further into darkness."
Pre-orders for Heavy Steps are available here. You can also catch Comeback Kid on tour with No Warning, Zulu, and Scowl starting next week.
