Luther – Five Of Cups

September holds plenty in store for LUTHER: Coinciding with their live appearances at Reeperbahn Festival (for the “Spotlight on: Heavy Reeperbahn”/MoreCore.de showcase), Envol et Macadam Festival in Québec, Canada (alongside Hatebreed and Despised Icon), and Local Core Festival in Hamburg, the Berlin group presents the brand new single “Five of Cups.”

“The lyrics tell the true story of a trip to Naples, where a vacation turns into an unexpected journey through mystical and folkloric experiences, including a prophetic tarot reading and a series of appearances of occult signs. These forced encounters trigger a harsh but inescapable revelation: Sometimes in life, no one is ever completely on your side, and many of those around you may only be there to pick at the remains,” explains singer Leo Luther.

The track showcases a new facet of LUTHER’s sound. Whereas the last single drew heavily from nu-metal and deathcore influences, “Five of Cups” explores progressive post-hardcore and melodic alternative metal — with a hint of emo. This sonic spectrum appeals to fans of bands such as Loathe, Knocked Loose, Poppy, Korn, Kim Dracula, and The Mars Volta.

Production, mix, and mastering were handled by Enrico Tiberi, current lead vocalist of The Ocean Collective.
