Shvpes Share New Video And Single For “Calloused Hands”


Shvpes have released a brand-new single ‘’ from their forthcoming album, Greater Than. The album is due for release On November 9th via Search And Destroy/ Spinefarm Records. The band also announced as special guests on tour with Hawthorne Heights UK tour.

 

Shvpes vocalist, Griffin Dickinson comments:

This is the first song we wrote together after coming back from our first European tour,”“We’d been out for 6 weeks, experiencing something we’d always dreamed of… As soon as we got back, as with most tours, reality hits and you’re sucked back into the ‘real world’ that pressures you to go and get a ‘real job’ I.e. doing something you probably don’t care about, for some narcissistic company that equally doesn’t care about you. This song was all about reminding myself why I don’t want to be a part of that. With lyrics like “capitalise; cannibalise” & “paralysed by your next fix” it’s exploring the futility of the paper chase.”

Written in Snowdonia, Wales, and recorded at Treehouse Studios in Chesterfield with world renowned producer and Engineer, Jim Pinder (Bullet For My Valentine, Machine Head, While She Sleeps), Greater Than is truly genre-defying; combing hip-hop and metal, plus alternative rock and urban elements. Matt Heafy of Trivium – one of Shvpes’ biggest inspirations – collaborates on the song, ‘Rain’.
