Finnish metalcore metal band I AT LAST released a new single Wake. The track is taken from the upcoming debut EP Magenta which is released on March 26th 2021 via Inverse Records.
Although I AT LAST declare themselves representatives of the metalcore genre, the EP embodies the band’s distinctive sound, breaking the prejudices associated with said genre. “Influences for the EP can be found in several different genres, but in the end when someone asks what I AT LAST sounds like, I would say it sounds like us. The sound of ‘Magenta’ creates a good overall picture of who we are and what kind of music we want to create.”, says the band’s guitarist Roope Lappalainen.
The five-track “Magenta” EP reaches just over 26 minutes and is released entirely in digital form.
