Do you know that feeling you get deep down in your gut when, despite what everyone else says, you are right about something? When karma finally catches up to a wrongdoer or the realization that you’ve finally found peace after a bad breakup with your partner? If so, you may identify with Toronto post-hardcore band Diamond Weapon.
Today, Diamond Weapon release the first single, “Revenge is Not A Dish, It’s A Concept” off of their upcoming EP, “Eyes”, out on June 11th, 2021. Carving out their own little niche in the music scene for unconventional music, the EP is available to pre-order here and the single is available to stream here.
Taking inspiration from groups like La Dispute, mewithoutyou, Refused, and At the Drive-In the EP was produced by Eddie Lucciola and Davis Maxwell from 414 Recordings in Fort Erie, Ontario. Consisting of 6 tracks, it’s a sonic assault through storytelling. The EP is aggressive, chaotic and gut-wrenching. “Eyes” offers an outlet to help others work through their feelings both positive and negative. Although not always pretty, it’s undeniable that the EP is honest and vulnerable. Lyrically, the songs are straightforward and adventurous. It indulges the darker aspects of society at large, personal lives and psyche with topics that range from justice, burdenship, gun violence, romance and heartbreak.
Louis Tentsos, the band’s vocalist comments on the single: “"Revenge is Not A Dish It’s A Concept", is inspired by a story where a man attacked his daughter’s killer in a courtroom. The track takes a look into what drives a good person to do an evil thing”.
Tracklist:
1. The End of Winter
2. Revenge is Not a Dish, It’s a Concept
3. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
4. The Academy of Young Lions
5. The House on 65th Street
6. I’m Sorry... For Everything...
