It’s almost time for new Grayscale music! We may not have an album title or release date, but we have an inside source that promises us a Grayscale album is coming. The inside source of course being the band themselves on tour this spring. So while we anxiously await news regarding the album of the year, let’s go over everything we know so far.
Not Afraid To Die EP
Our favorite thing is when artists release multiple versions of a song. We can’t get enough of ‘Not Afraid To Die,’ and we have three ways to enjoy it! This song is everything Grayscale does best. They immediately hit us with a standout intro, and they had us obsessed from the first note. We’ve spoken before about everything we love in this song, so we won’t put you through too much more.
However, you won’t get rid of us that easily. What we will go on about is how much we love the other two versions released on the EP. First, ‘Not Afraid To Die (Live at the Fillmore)’ somehow made us fall in love with the song even more. This live recording manages to capture all the best feelings about hearing a song live. Not only does it sound like they’re really singing in the room with you, but you can hear the crowd singing every word. We don’t know, maybe we died and are listening to this recording as we enter heaven. Who knows?
Now you know we all love the banging of the drums and the shredding of the guitars. But sometimes we need a chill version too. This way, we can listen to ‘Not Afraid To Die’ at any time. In the middle of the dance floor? ‘Not Afraid To Die.’ Falling asleep? ‘Not Afraid To Die (Acoustic).’ It always works!
‘Let Go’
We don’t mean to sound impatient, but we will need this song right now. If you need us anytime before Grayscale’s album drops, we will be watching the previews of ‘Let Go.’ Lucky fans that have heard this song on tour recently know how well this song blends a catchy melody with personal lyrics. And as grateful as we are for the tease and for the early listen on tour, we would love to know when we can stop listening to this song through live YouTube videos.
‘Mum II’
We’re sure longtime fans of Grayscale know where we’re going with this one. The last song from the next album that we have so far is ‘Mum II,’ a sequel to 2017’s ‘Mum.’ This one is an incredibly vulnerable song, and it makes us even more excited to see what Grayscale has in store for us with this next era.
“Many of the lyrics in ‘Mum II’ call back to specific details/imagery of the previous song’s story as well as other Grayscale songs that involve her. I found myself not wanting to play “Mum” live anymore, I think out of an emotional protectiveness and empathy towards what she has been through, her struggles, and her problems. As this feeling grew, I eventually wanted to replace the song with one that reflects how I feel now and how our relationship has grown.“
