Vocalist Nathaniel Smith says of the new single, “As the name suggests, the songs message is one of self-reflection and self-realisation. ‘I am the cure, I am the curse’ – this opening statement best summarises this arc, which touches on the array of inner turmoil we all experience in our lives.”

“The takeaway message from this song is one of hope and positivity, that we can look within ourselves not to tear us down, but to change and grow for the better.”

The phrase “Remember my name”, first heard in the EPs opening track Ghost, is now heard in a different context. “What was at first describing the fear of loss of one’s identity, now represents an affirmation of resilience, a silver lining and a sense of identity.” Smith says.

Lune have already left a mark on the metalcore scene, their first two singles Ghost and Manipulator clocking up hundreds of thousands of streams in the first few months.

Their captivating live performances have been described as “not to be missed,” with triple j presenters describing their sound as “heavy as all hell, and when it gets melodic, it’s STILL heavy as hell.” And “this is so heavy that I am going to have to up my gains just so I can try and handle this track.”
