Metalcore crew Sunmancer have dropped their new single, "Lower Cavalier".
The track continues the Atlanta outfit's build towards their upcoming EP, Everything Falls Apart, duelling emotive melodic hardcore with the potency of deathcore.
Speaking on the new track, vocalist Justin Mazlik shares: "The lyrical theme of "Lower Cavalier" explores how friendships and relationships can turn sour, revealing that those you once considered extremely close can ultimately become nothing more than a waste of time. Lyrically, it’s almost a ‘Part II’ to our song “Revolver“ from our first EP Nothing Ever Happens."
Atlanta metalcore crew Sunmancer have refined a sharp and captivating brand of heavy, since the release of their debut EP.
Formed in 2022 by brothers Kyle and Justin Mazlik and guitarist Jeremy Harlan, Sunmancer released their rookie collection in November 2023. Nothing Ever Happens, produced by the band's now drummer Patrick Snyder, brought the group out of the gates at an impressive pace, their intuitive instrumental cohesion and emotive delivery setting Sunmancer on a bright trajectory.
The band would continue to raise their stock in the southeast with a run of shows and short tours, with notable support slots for August Burns Red and Fuming Mouth soon following.
Sunmancer's comprehensive lexicon of heavy is clear to see; May's blistering "Chasm Darkly", is a rich and riveting sonic offering, splashing atmospheric melodic hardcore with fierce death metal.
The gnarly growls of Justin Mazlik are a tenacious window to the soul of the southern quintet. Latest release "Lower Cavalier" displays a sharp hybrid of heavy and melodic as the newcomers find their footing with dark, ominous tones and searing metalcore choruses reminiscent of the mid 2010's.
