Windwaker Announce New Singer & Release New Single

In exciting news for metalcore fans and everyone hitting up Northlane's regional tour, which kicks off this month, Windwaker have returned with a new single, Left In The Dark. 

Extra exciting news: A new singer who you might recognise, Liam Guinane, the Melbourne band's previous guitar player, has rejoined the band, but this time as a vocalist. 

Connor Robins is another new member of Windwaker, providing synths and samples. Will King, who was the vocalist on the band's debut album, Love Language, released in May this year, has departed.

Left In The Dark is packed with synths, clean and screamed vocals, chugging guitars, and a surprising breakdown with a rap-screamed verse at the song's midway point. The music video finds Guinane, lead guitarist Jesse Crofts, bassist Indey Salvestro, drummer Chris Lalic, and Robins surrounded by televisions with no signal. Windwaker provides an outlet for fans feeling stuck in this modern age with chugs and a fists-in-the-air chorus.

"Life can feel so bleak at times, and especially in today's world, things are so complicated," the band shared. "But the escape we have gotten from music and the artists we love has always been a constant. It's part of why we love what we do, and remembering that feeling resonated with all of us after such a major lineup change and restructure. We want anyone listening to this track to feel reassured we can be that escape when things get tough."

As well as their debut album, the band have released the EPs, Fade in 2017 and Empire in 2019, building up an audience and cracking over 1 million streams on Spotify. They are currently signed to Fearless Records alongside Grayscale, Eat Your Heart Out, The Plot In You and many more ripping acts. Earlier this year, Windwaker opened shows for I Prevail and Motionless In White in Australia. 

Windwaker will open for Northlane on all dates of their national, regional tour, which kicks off in five days.
