Silverstein have released their first new material of the year, with brand-new track ‘Skin & Bones’ out now.

The Canadian band’s new single, which is out via UNFD, also arrives with an official video that fans can check out below.

Speaking of the track and its meaning, the band’s vocalist Shane Told has said:

“‘Skin & Bones’ is a deeply emotional song, written about the sudden loss of a person who was once very close to me.

“Every day we’re stuck in our own heads worrying about trivial things and never thinking about just how fragile we are. Life can be gone in an instant. I lost one of the greatest people I ever knew.”

“Recording out in Joshua Tree, in the middle of the desert, made it feel like we were starting with a totally blank canvas. Without external distractions, I found myself turning my attention inward. 

“How did I really feel? What did I really want to say about it? And once I found that, the performance just poured out of me. Talking, singing, yelling, screaming…it’s all raw emotion in this track.”

Drummer Paul Koehler, meanwhile, has added:

“Earlier this year we ventured out to Joshua Tree, hiding away for several weeks and working intensely on our first batch of new music in 3 years. 

“‘Skin & Bones’ is packed with heavy emotions and is the first glimpse of what formed in those sessions.”
