For These Four Walls fans, the wait is almost over, with the band’s third studio album This Is Not A Future no slated for release Friday April 24th 2020! Their new single, "CHAOS", was one of the last to be written and
recorded for the album - and showcases a clear progression in the band’s songwriting style since they last released an album almost 8 years ago.
A lot has changed for the band in nearly 8 years - most notably, they relocated from Auckland, NZ to the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. This change has provided a number of opportunities for the band, including shows supporting international acts such
as Seether, P.O.D., Skillet, Fuel, Fozzy, and Theory of a Deadman, as well as completing an Australian national tour supporting The Butterfly Effect in 2019. These
Four Walls have previously released 2 albums, Down Falls an Empire and Living to Write the End, both of which were Top 40 albums in New Zealand.
The new album is the
result of a crowdfunding campaign launched last year. With 6 songs already recorded, mixed and mastered in 2019, the band considered releasing them as an EP but with even more new material waiting to be recorded, they opened it up to the fans, and were
overwhelmed by the response, exceeding the album crowdfunding target in just 5 days.
The band immediately got to work with producer and Dead Letter Circus guitarist Luke Palmer, and veteran producer/engineer Matt Bartlem(who also helmed Living to Write the End) to complete the project. The final album is 13 tracks and includes the previously released singles Bravery, Over & Over and Fire Away.
According to Steve
Gibb, vocalist for These Four Walls, new single Chaos, "...deals with toxic personalities and being caught up in a tempest of lies, manipulation and bullshit." The album title This Is Not A Future comes from this song
and alludes to the idea of karma – if you treat people like shit it will eventually catch up with you.
