After The Burial just released a brand new song ‘Collapse’, the song appears on their upcoming new album “Dig Deep”, which will be out in stores February 19th through Sumerian Records.
You gotta After the Burial props for picking themselves up and dusting themselves off in a relatively short period of time: one of the band’s two guitar players, Justin Lowe, tragically passed away in July, and it’s barely slowed the band down one bit. In October, they released a new song, ‘Lost in the Static,’ and they completed a tour with The Faceless just last month.
What’s not presently clear whether or not Lowe’s final recordings will appear on the album. We know he was in the studio with the band shortly before his death, but we don’t know how much, if any, recording he was able to complete. It seems safe to say, however, that the last songs he ever wrote will be on the album.
Says vocalist Anthony Notarmaso of the loss of guitarist Justin Lowe and moving on without him:
“We coped as well as we could have – we still are. Losing someone isn’t easy, and we all dealt with it in our own way. I was angry and sad at the same time. I didn’t know how to feel, and it took time to accept that he really was gone. After the dust settled, we got on the phone to see where we stood. To be honest, we thought about giving up. We asked ourselves if it was right to go on without him, or maybe if it was time to start a new band together. In the end, we felt like we couldn’t let what beat him beat us. That would’ve been even more tragic, and we felt like he wouldn’t have wanted us to stop. I know I wouldn’t have.”
