Mit Malengine (The Scaffold) – der letzten Vorab-Single aus ihrem mit Spannung erwarteten fünften Album Fading Failing Ruin, das am 3. Juli 2026 über Magnetic Eye Records erscheint – gewähren Solace einen düsteren Einblick in ihren Heavy Metal im Vintage-Stil.
Solace Kommentar: „When I came up with the opening riff to Malengine, I really liked it“, erklärt Gitarrist Tommy Southard. „The song felt moody and doomy with a certain sorrowful tone, but when I brought it to the band they had a hard time wrapping their heads around it. I guess it was in an odd time signature. Our other guitarist Justin presented it to some friends with deep formal knowledge of music, and they analysed that the first half of the riff is in 9/8 and the second half is 11/8! Once everyone had figured out the groove of the riff, the song really started taking shape. I really love all the twists and turns. It’s got doom. It’s got some metal flourishes and a killer kinda psych section. It went from maybe a song that wasn’t going to work to the final composition turning out as one of my faves songs on Fading Falling Ruin. This track comes with almost every element that makes Solace who we are. I sincerely hope people find it as interesting as we do.“
