Black Coast Share Video For ‘Stranger’s Skin’

---

Stoke-On-Trent’s nu-metal outfit, Black Coast, have revealed the video for their new single ‘Stranger’s Skin’. The new track is the fourth from the band’s upcoming highly anticipated debut album ‘Outworld’ set for release 19 November via Blood Blast Distribution.

‘Stranger’s Skin’ sees vocalist Charlie Hewitt opening up about issues with self-esteem and how putting on a ‘brave face’ can actually lack compassion for one’s self. This combines with the song’s proud references to Deftones, Alice in Chains bookended no-nonsense foot-stomping guitar work. Effortlessly twisting familiar components into new shapes with the metallic hardcore sound that they are lauded for.

Charlie Hewitt explains “Stanger’s Skin is about your perceived image. Whether that be aesthetically or how you think you come across to other people, and how you feel about that image. Feeling like you’re someone else ‘pretending to be okay with pretending’. Sometimes you can’t help it, or have to do it. Stuck in a stranger’s skin.”

With the band’s last tour shelved mid-way through due to covid and staring into a void of uncertainty, Black Coast entered the studio. For the band, new music gave them a means for reflection and a coping mechanism, proving the writing of ‘Outworld’ to be a healing process. What emerges from the somehow both separate and collaborative time away is 12-tracks from a band who have undergone a sonic and personal evolution.
