Death/Groove Metal artists King of Tyrus release the lyric video for their new song Coyote Running. Off their new EP Form & Void, Coyote Running wrestles with depression and the feeling of being lost. Vocalist Josiah goes into further detail on what inspired the song.
Coyote Running was inspired in part by my efforts to use running as a means to combat depression and regulate my emotions as well as the events in my life during the period of time within which I was writing it. Coyote was heavily influenced by my struggles with suicidal ideation, self destruction, DBT, and constitution; the song captures both our need to progress in life and what I believe is the artist's most powerful muse: pain. This puzzle can plant a partition between dharma and art, leading to despair. Supplementing this idea are several references to Emily Dickinson's letters to Thomas Wentworth Higginson in which she expresses how miserable and out of place she feels. Ultimately, Form & Void is a conceptual EP and its protagonist begins his journey in Coyote Running as a writer struggling to fight against himself. He is someone I think artists and appreciators alike can relate to: that we are humans toiling through our life to become more than what we are.
King of Tyrus' new EP Form & Void is out now. King of Tyrus will be playing with Whitechapel and Dying Fetus on the Minneapolis, MN stop of the Chaos & Carnage tour.
