Swedish five-piece alternative metal band\u00a0Past Five<\/strong>\u00a0will release their new EP entitled\u00a0Detox.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on May 8, 2020, via Eclipse Records. The four song release was produced by\u00a0Christian Silver<\/strong>\u00a0(Dragonforce, Arch Enemy, Kreator) at the infamous\u00a0StudioMega<\/strong>\u00a0in Varberg, Sweden.
\u00a0
Detox.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was written by the band after nearly breaking up during a time of turmoil, self-destruction, and despair for some of the band members. The songs are deeply personal in their nature, addressing topics such as addiction, suicide, and toxic relationships. The result however is an EP which ultimately represents the band’s sheer ability to move on stronger, and more focused (as a band) than ever before. With hard hitting grooves, dystopian lyrics, and heart-breaking melodies,\u00a0Detox.<\/em>\u00a0is bound to leave few critics unmoved. See below for a full track list of the EP\u2026
\u00a0
Past Five<\/strong>\u00a0have also revealed their first music video from the EP, for the first single “Kryptonite<\/strong>“. The video was directed by\u00a0Astrid Larsson<\/strong>\u00a0and confronts the subject of drug addiction while drawing metaphorical comparisons to destructive relationships. Watch it right now at\u00a0this location<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

0“We had this idea of performing in a dreamlike, intoxicating atmosphere where you cannot see the start nor the end of the room”<\/em>\u00a0says bassist\u00a0Alexander Orlov.<\/strong>“The storyline however centers upon a lonely man in his apartment who is deeply in love with a woman. While together they are intimate, and when she’s gone he struggles to cope with her absence.”<\/em>\u00a0Lead vocalist\u00a0Jonathan Wallin<\/strong>\u00a0adds “we wanted to convey the comfort of his drug use (the woman represents the drugs talking, laughing, and kissing), as well as the dark side to his destructive relationship (him screaming and flipping the table when she’s no longer with him).”<\/em>

Pre-order the album on\u00a0iTunes<\/a>,\u00a0Amazon<\/a>, or\u00a0Google Play<\/a>, and stream the singles via\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>,\u00a0Deezer<\/a>,\u00a0Pandora<\/a>,\u00a0iHeart Radio<\/a>\u00a0and more!
