Alternative rock group The Early November has released their new single ‘The Empress.’ The song – written about struggling to overcome repeated setbacks – serves as the opening track to their upcoming self-titled album, setting the tone for a record fueled by frustration. ‘The Empress’ is the fourth track to be released from the band’s forthcoming ‘Self-Titled’ album set to be released on June 14th via Pure Noise Records.
“This song is about how hard it is to hold it together sometimes.. we have to pretend a lot of the time to keep existing in the entertainment world. I can’t say enough how grateful I am.. but I also can’t say it’s been a walk in the park,” shares frontman Ace Enders. “Emotionally I have been devastated many times, got back up to be knocked over again… and as a result, just kind of feel an unraveling of sorts almost all the time. This song is my inner struggle with overcoming that.”
