Sea of Treachery have unveiled a new single and video for “What’s Past Is Prologue.” The reveal also serves as their official announcement that they’ve been signed to Mutant League Records.
Vocalist Alex Huffman says about the signing: “We’re extremely excited to be working with Mutant League—We’ve wanted to find the right partner that understands both where we are as a band and as people, and in the past, that has often proven difficult. They are a breath of fresh air and believe in our music and our ethics, and I am so excited for this chapter. It’s a blessing to be rejoined by Michael, who is an original member of Sea of Treachery, and to see him work with Christian to record these songs. We’re also thrilled to have Ricky Armellino, Adam Reed, and Andreas Magnusson helping us with the mixing and mastering. It’s a dream scenario for us.”
Guitarist Christian McManama adds: “Being signed is obviously a hugely impactful thing for all of us, and being sought out by a label like Mutant League that believes in both our vision and music truly makes the achievement even richer for each of us. For me personally, it’s ushered in a new, much awaited chapter in life. A short statement can’t possibly capture how excited I am to be able to bring new music into existence, and to help finally breathe new life into Sea of Treachery as the first metal band signed to Mutant League Records. Since words alone won’t suffice, I aim to put all of that energy and passion into the new music. This is only the beginning.”
The band say about the song: “’What’s Past is Prologue’ is about embracing our struggles, learning from our mistakes, and forging ahead with unwavering determination. The lyrics discuss mental health issues that can make even the most mundane tasks seem like triumphs, but emphasize that the true goal is to break free from the cycles of depression and anxiety to confront struggle head-on. This song is a cathartic and personal release for us, and we hope it resonates with our fans on a similar level, empowering them to overcome their own challenges.”
The heavy new track is a sampling of what’s to come as the band make new music in collaboration with this label.
Sea of Treachery will be touring with The Convalescence in June.
