The Gloom In The Corner Announce Sharp Tone Records Debut 'Trinity' & Share 'Ronin' ft. Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake

Cinema-core specialists The Gloom In The Corner have officially pulled back the curtain on their latest project. The Melbourne band have shared the video for a new single Ronin ft. Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake. 

The band who announced their signing to Sharp Tone records earlier this week have also the release date for their forthcoming second full-length, and label debut Trinity. Trinity will arrive on October 28.

Trinity will see the continuation of the ever-unfolding story arc laid out by each of their previous concept-based releases. The band shared that Trinity ollows formerly deceased characters Rachel Barker, Ethan Hardy, and Clara Carne as they battle their way through The Rabbit Hole dimension, and features a variety of artists such as Ryan Kirby (Fit For A King), Joe Badolato (Fit For An Autopsy), Lauren Babic (Red Handed Denial), and Elijah Witt (Cane Hill), who were specifically cast by the band to help bring the story to life. 

The band have wasted no time kicking off the current era with a bang, vocalist Mikey Arthur, guitarist Matt Stevens, bassist Paul Musolino, and drummer Nic Haberle, begin by introducing listeners to the first member of the unholy trinity in the video for Ronin which you can view below.

Speaking about the role that Ronin plays in the Trinity narrative, frontman Mikey Arthur explains  “Ronin, from a lore perspective, re-introduces Homecoming protagonist Ethan Hardy after his death at the end of that EP." “Upon donning a new suit of armour, known as the ‘Black Cloud’, he pushes his emotions deep inside, channelling them into a display of violence. Hardy wreaks havoc across Hell under no command but his own, earning the name of ‘The Ronin’. The redux of both the Witch Hunt and Rodent breakdown not only serves as an Easter egg for old fans but continues the story begun in Homecoming with more brutality and gore.”

“As always, the track serves as an analogy, albeit a tragic one,” the singer continues. “Despite how much you may ask for help, or that people can see that you’re in pain, you’re on your own and the only one who can fix you is you. Ronin is an angry, relentless tirade that, in short, says; ‘I came to you when I needed help after you said that you would, and you sat back and did nothing. Go fuck yourself.’” 

Trinity will be released on October 28 via Sharp Tone Records. It is available for pre-order now.
