ARRIVAL OF AUTUMN: 'Witness' Lyric Video

March 4, 2019

Canadian metal upstarts ARRIVAL OF AUTUMN will release their second full-length album and Nuclear Blast debut on March 29. "Harbinger" was produced and mixed by Jason Suecof (DEVILDRIVER, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM) and mastered by Alan Douches (DARKEST HOUR, EVERY TIME I DIE, SUICIDE SILENCE).

The lyric video for the second single, "Witness", can be seen below.

"'Witness' is about trying to survive when everything around you is falling apart," commented vocalist Jamison Friesen. "It's told through a fictional post apocalyptic setting, inspired by the Mad Max films. The protagonist finds he's a hero in times where there doesn’t seem to be a point in trying."

"Harbinger" track listing:

01. Hurricane On The Horizon
02. End Of Existence
03. Witness
04. The Horror
05. Old Bones // New Blood
06. Better Off Without
07. Symbiotic
08. An Omen Of Loss
09. The Endless
10. Apocalyptic

ARRIVAL OF AUTUMN started as a band with a mission to play music without compromise and carve its way through the music scene on its own terms. Coming from a small city in Northern Canada, this was a necessary strategy, since the band didn't come up in a big city scene with regular promoters, venues and attendees.

After touring in support of two self-released albums, "Endless Nights" and "Shadows", the band began plotting its next release. On a whim, they decided to send some of the new demos to one of their heroes, Jason Suecof at Audiohammer Studios, to see if he would be interested in recording them. To the band's absolute surprise, Jason liked what he heard, and found time between some of the heavy-hitters that he had been working on to record the material. This was an opportunity the band couldn't pass up, and immediately started planning the trip of flying over 3,000 miles, from one end of the continent of North America to the other, to record the best songs the band had ever written.

Fast forward to after two successful recording sessions produced by Jason Suecof and mastered by Mark Lewis, the band was able to attract the attention of A&R legend Monte Conner. Conner was impressed with what he heard and quickly struck a deal with the band. With such a rapid ascent thus far, there's no telling what great things lurk in ARRIVAL OF AUTUMN's not-too-distant future.

ARRIVAL OF AUTUMN is:

Jamison Friesen - vocals
