‘Sapiens’ portrays the blunt and uninhibited rage of a man, marginalised and forgotten. Vocalist Clem Richard explains:
“We wanted to speak as someone living in a state of mental distress, left in the margins, with no one around to provide either help or compassion. Psychological illnesses are often seen in a caricatured way, to a point where those affected are isolating themselves by fear of being mocked.”
Guitarist Niels Tozer adds: “The isolation of the character we developed in this song gave birth to him feeling abandoned, trapping him inside this self-destructive rage. Worn out and too far gone, he roams alone, with no more hope to one day be understood and accepted by his peers.”
‘Sapiens’ follows the successful release their Out of Line Music debut and previous single ‘Outlier’ two months ago. Guitarist Antoine Zimer reflects on the feedback that they received:
“We’ve been totally overwhelmed by the amount of love and positive feedback we received after the release of ‘Outlier’. The song has a strong backstory with a very personal and emotional context, and we were moved to see that people understood it and that the song received as much love as we put into it.”
ASHEN will be heading out on their first European tour in 2022 with the established French band Novelists FR. Between modern rock, alternative metal, and metalcore, ASHEN establishe themselves as a serious hope for the modern rock and metal scene with a true identity.
