There is nobody around with whom to share this burden Or was I the one who left them all behind? As the sun begins to dip below the horizon Resolve vanishes, in the failing light Fighting to survive, we’ll make a last push for the border Too late to start again, we’ll run from where the pieces lie Assurance has become but a memory Connection, the only thing I crave Is there any comfort out there in the distance Or, am I racing to the grave? Trying to deny the desperation Like turbulence, is tearing me apart This purpose, too far beyond my station Has tormented me enough, like a viper around my neck Fighting to survive, we’ll make a last push for the border Too late to start again, we’ll run from where the pieces lie There’s nothing to be done Too late to start again Staggered by the weight pushing down on me It’s getting hard to breathe Still implacable but standing still All I need is one last push home Fighting to survive, we’ll make a last push for the border Too late to start again, we’ll run from where the pieces lie Subscribe here: https://Wheel.lnk.to/YTSubscribeID Find Wheel online: Website: https://wheel.lnk.to/Homepageid Facebook: https://wheel.lnk.to/Facebookid Instagram: https://wheel.lnk.to/Instagramid Twitter: https://wheel.lnk.to/Twitterid Newsletter: https://Wheel.lnk.to/NewsletterID

Progressive metallers Wheel have shared the video for their new single, ‘Where The Pieces Lie’, the second track to be taken from their upcoming debut album, Moving Backwards, out February 22nd via Odyssey Music Network.
With beautifully shot black and white footage accentuating the jarring and pensive atmosphere of the track, the video sees the band perform amid violent outbursts of emotion. Throughout, intense verses build into explosive choruses, forming a fierce and unnerving work laden with suspense.
"We made the video for the song with the legendary Kakkis and Kimbe, who we have worked with several times before. We wanted to express the isolation, frustration, anger and bitterness in the lyrics through the video's story and this was fantastically realised by Lassi Hurskainen, the video's extremely pissed off protagonist,” the band explain.
“We wanted to juxtapose suspense with the internal struggle of our main character; who is clearly suffering and desperate for a release from his burdens. For many of us, life is turbulent, chaotic and isolating; there is nothing else to do but keep marching forwards."
‘Where The Pieces Lie’ is the second track to be taken from their forthcoming debut album,Moving Backwards, following their debut single ‘Vultures’, which has already amassed over 250,000 streams on Spotify alone.
Following the release of two EPs, The Path (2017) and The Divide (2018), the album sees the band showcasing their distinctive and time-defying collage of progressive rock, grunge and film score which twists and turns into Tool-esque masterpieces.
In addition to its sonic ambition, the subject matter of the album is also complex and undeniably important. Already having dissected the media’s portrayal of the nightmarish inhumanities of the Syrian refugee crisis on early single ‘Please’, they have established themselves as a group very much unafraid to speak out. On Moving Backwards, they turn their gaze to censorship and institutionalised mind control – an epidemic that is sweeping the world.
“Censorship in academia is becoming increasingly common,” explains frontman James Lascelles. “If it continues, filtering out into films, comedy and music – we’ll end up in a place where nobody can say anything anymore. The lyrics for ‘Tyrant’, with lines like “silence will become the banner” are heralding what’s to come. On this album, rather than looking at an environmental or economic dystopia, we’re anticipating more of a social one.”
Armed with an expansive and mind-melting debut album, the quartet will be accompanying Swedish art-rockers Soen on their European tour throughout March and April, which will include a date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on the 25th March.
