“Standing Tide” is the first song that the band wrote and has had multiple changes since its initial form; they feel it captures not only their heavy aspects, but also their progressive sound and use of dynamics and complex rhythms. | APOAPSIS’s single “Standing Tide” is being released today! The song combines multiple styles of music, which showcases each member’s wide variety of musical tastes. Vocalist/Guitarist Drew Pinto stated: “The song takes the listener on a tour of our different musical inspirations; it includes bits and pieces of genres we love, like Punk, Prog Metal, Post-Hardcore, Rock, and even Ambient. I always try to imbue a story into the lyrics that I write, and this was no exception – this song is a story about a man’s decision to explore the ocean, having no desire to continue his boring, day-to-day life onshore. For me, this song narrates a metaphor for how we as people often bite off more than we can chew.” |
