The White Swan, the Canadian doom metal outfit featuring Kittie’s Mercedes Lander are getting ready for their new EP Touch Taste Destroy to arrive on September 7th. Today (2nd) the group has teamed up with Decibel to premiere the title track.
Lander commented:
“‘Touch Taste Destroy’ is about experiencing real romantic love for the first time. The kind of love that completely consumes you and ruins any idea of what you thought real love was like. The main riff came together very easily for me and was written on an Alvarez baritone acoustic on my couch in about 5 minutes. We had the middle part tucked away in our bank of riffs and it fit very well with the main bit of music. Lyrically, the song is quite sappy, which is an underlying theme with The White Swan in general, but I really wanted to keep the verses very dark sounding, to contrast the lyrical content, and the choruses a bit more intense but in the same dark vein as the verses. I felt like TTD perfectly describes the EP’s theme. Not only is it one of my favorite songs but it speaks for the content of all three songs on the EP.”
