SPITE HOUSE have announced a new album!
Titled Desertion, the upcoming album from the Montreal-based post-hardcore band is the follow-up to 2022’s self-titled album, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Pure Noise Records.
Desertion explores grief with uncommon vulnerability as vocalist/guitarist Max Lajoie depicts the immense pain and complicated emotions around the unexpected passings of both his parents. “When I was 17, my dad passed away from suicide,” he says. “Then ten years later my mom called me to tell me she had cancer, and ten days later she passed. Desertion is more about how these tragedies have informed so much of my life–it’s about trying to look them in the eye and reassess them as an adult. I want to move past them but I also want to take some kind of lesson from them.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, SPITE HOUSE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Desert.
Speaking about the new song, Lajoie shares, “it’s a snapshot of the morning I found out my dad had taken his own life and had to go back in my house to pack and leave, both literally and emotionally. It’s the sound of emptiness and confusion–of standing in a place that used to feel like home and realiSing it’s now abandoned.”
