Belgian industrial band, SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! has announced the release of their new & highly-anticipated full-length album, Thorns.
The songs are mainly about being lost in one’s desperate tortured and destructive thoughts, about past and present demons, about being afraid of getting hurt by others or losing them or relationship difficulties and fights. It’s called Thorns because there’s some kind of pain associated to everything that is beautiful and nice in life.
Speaking specifically about a couple of the singles from the album, SUPER DRAGON PUNCH!! founder, Jérémie Venganza says, “Split” is about losing someone and being stuck in a place alone with thoughts, thinking that things could be better if I could try again. “Rise” is about surrounding oneself with people that seem like they want to help you in life while in reality you’re just being used by those you gave your time to.
Thorns is available on CD NOW and will be available on all major digital formats including Spotify and Bandcamp on August 7th.
