Hard rock band Dark Divine has shared the new song “Terrifier” from its forthcoming debut full-length, “Deadly Fun,” set for release on Sept. 8, 2023, via Thriller Records (pre-order here).
“Terrifier” introduces itself by chanting the word “Terrified” in an unsettling way. The track gradually ascends into a melody-driven verse that explodes into a catchy chorus.
“I wanted to write ‘Terrifier’ about internal struggles with anxiety,” vocalist Anthony Martinez said. “Anxiety can make one incorrectly feel as though they are the cause for problems in their own lives as well as the lives of those around them. I wanted to write a song that describes struggle but also acknowledgment of anxiety. Coming to terms with it and attempting to do away with it.”
“Each song has its own message but the whole album is based on different individuals’ fear of literal, spiritual or emotional death,” Martinez said of the album, “Deadly Fun.” “It explores what it’s like going through daily life and never knowing what’s around the corner, down a hallway, or in the basement. Like walking through a mystery funhouse or a creepy carnival. It’s fun but also terrifying at times. Without that fear, everything would be taken for granted.”
“Deadly Fun” track list:
- Deadly Fun
- Drown
- Cold
- Terrifier
- Dancing Dead
- Paper Crown (feat. Bryan Kuznitz of Fame on Fire)
- Hive Mind
- Grave Digger
- Moving On
- The Reaper
