“Fatebringer was such an intense song to write. It’s really about being angry at the way the world looks - feeling powerless to make an impact and just wishing, wanting for more." - Vocalist Tom Kiely

A strong and heavy start, the song smacks you in the face with Tom Kiely’s heavy vocals and guitarist Declan Le Tessier’s punchy dance riff. Halfway through the first verse the track teases a softer side with muted vocals and a break in the heavy before launching right back it and keeping you on your toes. As the chorus starts, you’re carried away with Kiely’s melodic voice singing ‘I feel I’ve lost my way, I can’t escape this reality’

The feature by Currents Vocalist Brian Wille comes in on the second verse and your mind immediately fantasises about seeing him and Kiely scream back and forth in a (fingers crossed) live performance of this one day. The track packs so much into the short but very sweet moment and it’s the perfect follow up to the bands monstrous track ‘Scattered’ from earlier this year.

“Fatebringer was such an intense song to write. It’s really about being angry at the way the world looks - feeling powerless to make an impact and just wishing, wanting for more. From a personal standpoint - I really wanted to express my own sadness in seeing the pain and destruction occurring in the world everyday. From the pandemic, to some of the human suffering, animal suffering. These things that just perpetuate pain, fear and suffering…It just doesn’t seem to stop. This was written as an outcry for action, I wanted to bottle that discontent I think so many of us are feeling and spill that out in a song.

It’s an angrier side of Patient Sixty-Seven, it’s heavier….but it’s one I felt like had to be brought to life in this way - because that’s how I felt when writing the lyrics for this song. “Brian (Wille) was also such an amazing addition to the track, he really helped bring the song to a new level.”

If you’re not already religiously listening to Patient Sixty-Seven, you’re doing it wrong. Can’t wait for more!
