Make Them Suffer haben mit „Contraband“ einen neuen Song am start. Darauf ist auch Courtney LaPlante von Spiritbox zu hören – sie ist damit die erste Gastmusikerin, die Make Them Suffer für einen Song mit ins Boot geholt haben. Sänger Sean Harmanis erzählt über den Song:
„‚Contraband‘ came together centered around one of the riffs in the song that we’d aptly named the ‚floppy fingers‘ riff. We’d actually had this [riff] in the bank since way back in 2016. As the song came together, we decided that it was a great opportunity to include Make Them Suffer’s first-ever guest feature, and we couldn’t have picked anyone better than Courtney! She was a joy to work with and showed such a great enthusiasm toward the song and her parts.“
Über den Inhalt sagt er weiterhin:
„Lyrically, the song is about everything and nothing at the same time. It’s about relationships with friends and family. But it’s also a low-key political song, as well as an expression of the frustrations surrounding COVID and its impact on our lives, particularly as members of the music community“. He finishes: „‚Contraband‘ is a build up — the result of two years without musical catharsis“. Let the sonic purge and cleanse begin with „Contraband“!.
Make Them Suffer veröffentlichten ihr aktuelles Album „How To Survive A Funeral“ (Albumreview) vor rund einem Jahr.
