River Black will be releasing their highly anticipated self-titled debut on July 7th via Season of Mist, and we have another crushing new song for your ear holes today. The new group, featuring John Adubato, Dave Witte and Mike Olender of Burnt By The Sun, and Revocation‘s Brett Bamberger, already shared the ‘Low’ and ‘#Victim’ singles online, and now you can hear ‘Boat’ below!
Here’s what vocalist Mike Olender said on the new track, “‘Boat’ addresses the challenge that humanity faces to do the right thing for the right reasons. We all aspire to be better people than we are – and few people genuine think that they are a bad person because we all have our ways of justifying our feelings and our behaviors to ourselves. Our paths are ultimately dictated by the fragility of the human spirit and our instinct to survive. Fate has a way of setting the stage for where we will go and who we are. Simply put, there’s little use escaping human nature. Lyrically, this song is a bridge between where Burnt by the Sun dissolved and this new project began.”
