Singled Out: Lord Dying's A Wound Outside of Time


. Today Erik Olson from Lord Dying tells us about the song "A Wound Outside of Time" from their brand new album "Poisoned Altars," which was released this week. Here is the story:

"A Wound Outside of Time" is a personal piece about struggling with alcohol addiction and the madness that comes along with it. Something I have struggled with for the better part of the last 14 years or so. While it might come across seeming pretty dark I like to think the listener can also discover a sense of hope.

The lyrics for the song were written while we were in the studio. I was terribly unprepared as usual and in between Chris' guitar over dubs Joel told me that next thing was my vocals for 'Wound' and I was like oh sh*t! I've still gotta go write the lyrics!" So I jotted down what first came to mind.

The song was written while we were working on a handful of songs for 'Poisoned Altars', but this one came really fast. I wrote a couple of riffs and then showed them to Chris and then we realized the structure was there. We always wanted to write a few songs that were short and catchy. There really aren't enough of those out there in the metal world, this was our attempt.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
