*NESHIIMA only

Where NESHIIMA's previous offering Purple (released earlier this year) focused on vocalist Liam Hesslewood's personal battle with religious faith, Orange develops on the band's musical foundation whilst simultaneously reaching outward to the feelings of those close to the band, and those that they feel empathetic towards.

Drawing comparisons between the two EP's, Hesslewood comments "Orange is most definitely not about wallowing in the past, but about pressing forward and encouraging empowerment".

Presenting a broad, catchy anthem in the EP's opening moments, 'Feel It' burns with an undeniably furious vigour, taking pause to question society's ability to continue to be a bright spark in an ever-darkening world.

"The universe we know is driven by conquering entities and those who resist",comments Neshiima on the inspiration behind their latest single.

"This exists on almost every social and governmental level, but even down to a daily grind - the working class level - can you continue to be you and shine your light, regardless of those who may attempt to dampen your spirit?"

ABOUT NESHIIMA

Glaswegian act NESHIIMA's modern crossover of hip-hop, metal and electronica saw their 2013 debut Distance rise up as a bold statement of the band's arrival to the Scottish metal scene.

Thanks to a successful crowd funding campaign, the quartet's second EP Beware of Gifts - a concept piece based around a story from Japanese mythology ' landed with roaring success in August 2015, with a lead-up performance at UK Tech Fest in July and EP single 'The Cycle' featuring on the cover CD of Metal Hammer's September 2015 issue.

March of this year saw NESHIIMA release the first of a series of three EPs. Purple was accompanied by two videos singles ' 'Here Forever' (featuring Renny Carroll of FOREVER NEVER) and 'Believe'. 'Here Forever' was released exclusively by Metal Hammer and played by Alex Baker on Kerrang! Radio in the lead up to release. The track's music video saw repeated plays on Kerrang! And Scuzz TV, and remains on their playlists to this day. As of July 2018, 'Here Forever' and 'Believe' have collectively racked up over 70,000 Spotify plays.

Where Purple saw vocalist Liam Hesslewood tackling personal demons on a public battlefield, second installment Orange points the finger directly at the listener, with NESHIIMA seeking to combat topics surrounding personal suffering, materialism, political unrest and the concept of freedom. In a bold step that challenges society's acceptance of negative influence, Orange will have you questioning much of what you know and take for granted.

The as-yet-unnamed third and final EP of the series is scheduled for release in late 2018/early 2019.
