Ereboros have put out Dissonant Soul, the fourth song lifted from From Oblivion to the Grave, and they have said exactly who it is for.
Weslley Fernandes was a close friend of the band and died after a long fight with a rare illness. The song is about the place where grief and affection stop being separable, which is a harder thing to write than either one on its own, and the band describe the title as the conflict that gets left behind.
It fits the record. Much of what Thiago Barbosa sings about came out of difficult years he and the drummer Victor Mendonca went through, and the album was built to turn that into something direct rather than decorated.
Musically it is the same combination they have worked at all along: heavy riffs and an unbroken aggression, with melodic passages that carry the weight rather than relieve it.
Dissonant Soul is the fifth track of eleven. A film went out with it.
