In a display of utter devastation and dark grandeur, post-deathcore act BURIAL PATH have unleashed their foreboding new offering, "Lilitu" featuring guest vocals by Abigail Bexx. "Lilitu" is accompanied with a powerful performance video. The track follows the band's previous harrowing single release "A Display of Penance".
Abigail Bexx shares, “There’s a quiet pressure that comes with being a woman in extreme music. Before you open your mouth, people have already decided what you’ll sound like, what you’ll be capable of, or whether you belong at all. 'Lilitu' was born from that tension. It’s about every woman who’s ever felt reduced to someone else’s expectations and choosing to stand anyway.”
Guitarist Matthew McClure comments, "'Lilitu' is about rejecting imposed identity. The song progresses through several emotions, from recognizing the oppression of imposed identity to reclaiming one's true identity and the freedom from that imposition. This is a psalm of rejecting the 'authority' that imposes identity and fighting the ideology that sustains it."
In "Lilitu", BURIAL PATH unearth obliterating intensity through crushing rhythms, deafening gutturals and ethereal orchestration. The power and anguish of this track is inescapable. The musical arrangement provides no moment of rest; the momentum is unceasing from its onset. "Lilitu" exposes the suffering and oppression of women. Lyrically, BURIAL PATH draw upon religious imagery and ideas that are often used to reinforce patriarchal inequality.
