Is Steven Wilson inherently a metal artist? No. However, the dude's lyrics concentrate on the extremely dark sides of real life, his music is incredibly well written and performed by guys who could play circles around most of us, and we just like Steven Wilson.
Wilson will release his new album To The Bone on August 18, and his new single "Song Of I," which according to Billboard explores sexual obsession.
It concerns sexual and emotional obsession, as well as "that refusal to let go of something that clearly isn't bringing any happiness," he says. "It's not strictly autobiographical. Mainly, I like to tell stories. But I think most people can relate to the feeling of love spilling over into obsession."
Expect to see To The Bone on a few year-end lists.
