OH, I GET IT. BECAUSE IT’S CALLED DUALITAS, RIGHT?
Here’s the album art for Withered’s new album, Dualitas. I’m not entirely sure what the meaning of the cover is supposed to be, especially in relationship to the title (I mean, “dualitas” is a type of taco, right?), but maybe you guys can hash it out in the comments section and come up with a theory.
The truth is — and I always take a lot of shit for saying this, but it’s how I honestly feel so fuck it — I LOVE watching Withered live. LOVE it. The first time I saw them in concert, I ran right over to their merch table and bought their album — that’s how into it I was.
But I’ve yet to hear a recording of theirs that stands up to their live performance. They’re just so fucking CRUSHING live, and then the albums… they just don’t hit that spot for me. The don’t have that kick-you-in-the-nards oomph! But I would love for Dualitas to be the studio recording that finally captures the same intensity Withered bring to their live show.
Dualitas comes out October 26 on Prosthetic. Tell me what a dickless piece of shit I am for not loving the band’s prior albums in the comments section below.
