The band comments on “Starless”:
“Probably the heaviest and darkest track on the album. We chose this as a single for that reason. The intro feels beautiful yet morose, then it’s just gritty and powerful the whole way through. Definitely a favorite among my bandmates. There is so much restless spirit in this song.”
A technical odyssey that further explores the band’s signature blend of aggressive brutality and ethereal beauty, “Starless” follows the successful release of debut single “Fodder”. Deepening the immersive experience that has already captivated fans of extreme metal. Lyrically, the single is about self-preservation and protection, in a way. It embraces dark femininity and evokes the embodiment of wrath and vengeance. It speaks from grief in the angry stage. This one has a very bleak and somber atmosphere as Visitant channels pain through it.
The track showcases the collaborative strength of Visitant’s seasoned lineup, with Taylor Tidwell‘s (Unaligned) haunting guitar work serving as the foundation for Anthony Lusk-Simone‘s (Abiotic, Lattermath) orchestral passages and thunderous drumming, while Kilian Duarte‘s (Abiotic, Scale the Summit) monstrous bass lines drive the composition forward with unrelenting intensity. Chelsea Marrow‘s (Voraath) commanding vocals tie the elements together, channeling the essence of vengeful spirits through her powerful delivery.
The single continues to build anticipation for Visitant’s debut album Rubidium, which the band describes as ‘shadow work’, embodying the bleakest parts of being human, including grief, loss, betrayal, vengeance, time lost, and regret. Recommended for fans of Gojira, Opeth, and Naglfar, Visitant is preparing to bring their haunting live experience to audiences, with upcoming performances including Michigan Metal Fest in August.
