Hot on the heels of their first tour in Australia, House of Protection (Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison) today announce their second EP, Outrun You All set for release on 23rd May via Red Bull Records. Kicking off the project is the first single, ‘Afterlife’ out today. Collaborating again with close friend and producer Jordan Fish, formerly of Bring Me The Horizon, the song sees them dial down the tempo without losing an ounce of the explosive energy they’ve become known for. From the brazen lyrics to the layers of electronic elements sandwiched between deafening riffs, ‘Afterlife’ is a testament to House of Protection’s individuality.
On the making of the single, the band shared:
“‘Afterlife’ was the second song we demoed, right after ‘It’s Supposed to Hurt’. It started with just the guitar stab and the whip sound. We liked it a lot, but ultimately, we pushed to avoid heavy half-time on GALORE. We intentionally wanted to keep that whole first EP pretty fast. After our debut shows, we realized how much we missed the feeling live, so we revisited it and refined the ideas with Jordan and Nick. Now it’s one of our favourites.”
