They come in threes, indeed. Alongside their peers in Converge and Piebald, reunited Bostonian underground metalcore favs There Were Wires will be returning at summer’s start with their first new album in 23 years, Vessel. In there case give their scene cult status, there’s ample reason to believe that in the moments where the seminal millennial era band’s sound went silent, time and age were doing nothing but wonders in preparing them to reconvene for a new creative crest.

Lead single “Massive House Fire” was in itself a powderkeg explosion of the five-piece burning with a rekindled intensity. Now with its second preview, “1901” (far from a Phoenix cover,) that energy expands in epic fashion. Across a dense, roaring atmosphere, frontman Jaime Mason pits a sea of grief against the massive moon tide as the band presses the heaviest of emotions and elements into one wave. As it crashes down, we soon begin to realize how they oft move in sync with one another — holding the fraught beauty of existence all within one powerful storm.
