OUR COMMON COLLAPSE SIGN WITH 3DOT RECORDINGS, RELEASE “INVERTEBRATE”
NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO INTRODUCE THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THE MINNEAPOLIS PROGRESSIVE DEATHCORE BAND
Our Common Collapse is Gage Olson (vocals), Elliot Merriman (guitars, production), Josh Solvedt (guitar), and Carlos Monserrate (drums).
Our Common Collapse have officially joined the 3DOT Recordings roster, marking the occasion with the release of their crushing new single, “Invertebrate,” and its accompanying video
“Lyrically, ‘Invertebrate’ is more direct than much of our previous work,” guitarist and producer Elliot Merriman shares. “Rather than leaning too far into surrealism and ambiguity, it explores the spineless people who exploit those around them, always looking to take more than they’re willing to give, and the lasting impact they can have on a person’s sense of self and autonomy. While rooted in personal experiences, the themes are meant to resonate on a broader level.”
Discussing the band’s current creative direction, Merriman continues: “We’ve spent a long time writing and refining this new material and we can’t wait for everyone to hear a more evolved, fully realized version of the band. Every decision from the songwriting to the production was made with the intention of pushing our sound further while staying true to the music we enjoy listening to and creating. This is only the beginning of what we’ve been working on.”
Originally formed as “a high school project for a bunch of friends” in 2017, Our Common Collapse have steadily refined their progressive deathcore sound, drawing inspiration from everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Lord of the Rings to Meshuggah and Deafheaven. Following the release of their 2019 EP No Longer Human or Known, the band continued to gain fans and momentum with singles including “The Lonesome Tongues,” “Languish,” “The Romantics,” and “Weeping.”
