GILT share single and video ‘How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?’

GILT share single and video ‘How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?’
Salad Days

Announce new album ‘I Saw Myself In The Black Screen’ out June 26th on Smartpunk Records.

It is the soundtrack to a mental breakdown. The tracks flip like channels between hooky riffs, grating screams, anthemic choruses, and walls of sound – polished and punishing all at once. The band pulls from genres like nu-metal, metalcore, post-hardcore, and emo into their very own vision, dubbed “Nu Emocore.” It sounds like 00’s alt-rock nostalgia from Limp Bizkit to Deftones to Thursday merged into a blender with a Myspace-era scene kid and turned into visceral, modern output. Having already teased with the crushing single and video ‘Seattle Day 2′ unveil the atmospherically driven ‘How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?.’ The track builds off big shoegaze instrumentals into moments of heavy tension. Tyler Fieldhouse’s floaty vocals transcend with Asha Locke’s frenzied, impassioned screams. Lines like “Are you jealous how I can make myself disappear?” are begging to be used in an AIM way message, but will have to suffice being stuck in your head. It comes with an anime style music video.

GILT is Asha Locke – vocals, Tyler Fieldhouse – vocals/rhythm guitar, Ali Reed – drums, Cameron Subic – lead guitar, and Woody – bass. Recorded bass on album by Tyler Peterson.

GILT is a fever dream blending poetry and introspection with mindless violence against themselves and the world around them. The band has a storied history in punk, booking DIY tours across America, Mexico, Canada, and Europe and is a favorite in the Florida scene, supporting legacy and modern core bands like I Set My Friends On Fire, Eyes Set To Kill, and Kaonashi, as well as the festival circuit playing FEST, Lost In St. Pete, Warped Tour, and South By Southwest. With their new album the band delivers the most true version of their sound to date, processing media escapism through the eyes of a traumatized child struggling with a choice between self-destruction and righteous revenge. The album was recorded by Lee Dyess at Earth Sound Studios and produced and mixed by Hansel Romero (Nightlife).
