BURY TOMORROW "Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience" Review
Bury Tommorrow drops new album out today!
Bury Tomorrow are back and, Christ, they’ve gone full emotional apocalypse on this one. Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience isn’t just heavy - it’s like being stuck in traffic during 40-degree heat, hungover, shirtless, and getting screamed at by a bloke who’s just found out his missus shagged his best mate. It’s that level of chaos.
After a few lineup shakeups and what I assume were some long, teary yarns over warm beers, these British metalcore legends have crawled out of the darkness and made something equal parts therapy session and bar fight. This album sounds like it’s been through shit, kicked shit, and now wants to rub your face in the shit, emotionally, of course.
The opener, To Dream, To Forget, kicks off like it’s haunting your dreams - slow, eerie, atmospheric, before the whole thing explodes harder than your mate’s guts after a servo pie and three Red Bulls. By the time Villain Arc rolls in, it’s pure fucking carnage. Dani Winter-Bates isn’t singing anymore, he’s committing a goddamn war crime with his vocal cords. It’s glorious.
Tracks like Wasteland and Waiting are just straight-up sonic punch-ons. Riffs heavier than your ex’s emotional baggage, breakdowns that could crack your spine, and drumming that sounds like someone trying to kick their way out of a coffin. Waiting in particular is so feral it should be wearing a hi-vis and yelling about Centrelink.
Now, Silence Isn’t Helping Us is where things get weird. It starts off like it wants to be a dance track, then gets tackled by a wall of guitars and dragged into the alley for a proper beating. It’s the kind of genre-bending madness that shouldn’t work, but it absolutely rips. And Paradox? Mate, that song closes the album like a pub at 3am with the lights on and your dignity missing - it’s raw, it’s loud, and it’s probably crying inside.
The lyrics are a full-on emotional strip search. Anxiety, despair, mental health struggles, the whole nine yards. But instead of whinging about it, the band turns their breakdowns into bangers. It’s sad bastard music you can headbang to, and somehow that works.
And shoutout to Carl Bown on production, the man’s done a killer job making this all sound massive without sanding off the edges. It’s like he took a chainsaw, gave it a tune-up, and let it sing.
So yeah, Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience is the musical equivalent of getting punched in the face and thanking the bloke after. It’s dark, it’s pissed off, it’s cathartic as all hell, and it might just be Bury Tomorrow’s best punch yet.
Chuck it on, crank it loud, and prepare to feel some shit.
