Exclusive Lyric Video Premiere: “Ambivalence” by Neck of the Woods

Excuse us for making the obvious observation, but it readily applies: you should feel no ambivalence about checking out Neck of the Woods‘ “Ambivalence.” The unrelentingly vicious new single from the Vancouver progressive extreme metal quintet’s sophomore full-length, The Annex of Ire, is very much like the snarling beasts that adorn the album’s cover. Listen to it, and you can practically smell a predator’s hot, stinking breath, practically feel its teeth as they dig into your flesh, perceive the sensation of your blood co-mingling with its saliva. Can you escape its jaws? Nope. Too late. You’re lunch.

Says vocalist Jeff Radomsky of the track:

“The feeling of ambivalence is something we deal with every day of our lives. Be it a small lingering of uncertainty or a relentless mental battle that derails your life we all experience it. This song focuses on my own indecision to exact revenge on someone who wronged me, repeating a mantra I don’t honestly believe in but felt strongly in the moment. Fuck the high road was cathartic thing to write though its not a path I feel many should follow.”
