Smashing through heavenly black sites, Melbourne act The Gloom In The Corner bring you their new single The Jericho Protocol, out now via SharpTone Records, and also welcome new members Jesse Abdurazak (guitar) and Joshua Clinch (drums).
Set just before the events of their sophomore album Trinity, The Jericho Protocol fleshes out the story of main character Rachel Barker’s time in Heaven, a rehabilitation centre known as The Garden Hotel, made to help newcomers to the realm adjust to their new afterlife. Things begin to go horribly wrong when she discovers they have been killing her over and over again to reset her memories every time she fails the rehab process, leading to catastrophic events, and the destruction of the realm.
The Jericho Protocol hurtles you through the harrowing events in the ever-evolving The Gloom In The Corner story, and is also set to be accompanied by a short-story A Reflection, A Thousand Deaths, penned by frontman Mikey Arthur and due for release on May 29th.
Speaking on their latest single, The Gloom In The Corner shares: “This is us at our writing peak — finding a balance between haunting and operatic melodies, and dimension destroying breakdowns”.
