Alternative Metallers One Last Day launch anthemic new single "Still Breathing"
South UK alternative metal outfit One Last Day have shared a planetary and anthemic new single titled Still Breathing, alongside a biting music video directed by Shaun Hodson (Loki Films). Produced by Meyrick De La Fuente (Exist Immortal, VEXED), "Still Breathing" is an air-tight and deeply emotive foray into alternative metal, with the band touching on its themes and stating:
""Still Breathing" describes the fearful journey of talking about mental health issues. It centres around the self-doubt of convincing yourself that, if you do speak up, that no one really cares and that all you will hear are empty responses. Continually building yourself a prison of circular destructive thoughts and logic.
Check out the official video below:
Further expanding on its themes, into breaking free of those same vicious patterns, they continue:
"As the song progresses, so does the journey, eventually moving to the realisation that there is a need to break yourself out of this cycle and that the time is now. You will have to push through and be brave; but you’ve come this far, breaking your silence will be the tool to release you from the cycle, and allow you to flourish."
Still Breathing, through this, stands as an anthemic and emotive slice of modern alternative metal, baring its personal themes of personal struggle proudly and without shame, as there is, and always will be, a healthy way out of these darker moments.
The release of Still Breathing also follows the recent release of Protect Me From Myself in late 2024, as well as an appearance Brighton's Hammerdown Festival this July. With the promise of more to come in the near future, 2025 is looking to only get bigger for the UK metallers.
One Last Day are Huw Roch (Vocals/Bass Guitar), Gareth Stapleton (Rhythm Guitar), John Harmsworth (Lead Guitar) and Connor Burt - Drums
