Continents release new single 'Gaslighter'
Welsh metalcore band Continents have today shared a new single titled ‘Gaslighter’. Taken from the band's new EP ‘Lifeline’, which is also out now, ‘Gaslighter’ sonically resembles the traditional side of Continents. Stream it right HERE.
Sharing his outlook on the new single Continents vocalist, Philip Cross mentions - “The song is written about where the truth becomes a fog and your reality is rewritten by the narcissists twisted script. A quote I read before by Maranda Pleasant was 'Changed behavior is the only apology, otherwise it's just manipulation' that's basically what this track is about and the EP in parts such as the final song Gritted Teeth it all comes together to tell a story of a situation and what that situation can create or has created for example. The line 'I'm afraid of these ghosts haunting this head, feeling left for dead' means that you overthink a scenario and you're second guessing everything undermining your own self-worth.”

Continents brand-new EP ‘Lifeline’ is also out now. Claimed by the band as an “EP for the overthinkers”, ‘Lifeline’ sees Continents create the most authentic version of themselves. It is available on a limited translucent purple Cassette right HERE.

Continents announced their return in 2022 with the release of singles 'Bad Blood' and 'Clarity', a secret set at ‘That’s What You Get Festival’ and an appearance at Throwfest.
