Reality Bites With JACSON From REMISSION

Reality Bites With JACSON From REMISSION

Author: HEAVY Magazine July 21, 2023 Duration: 9:59
Interview by Kris Peters
Western Australian death/thrash outfit Remission have been busy of late, releasing a string of singles in the lead up to their new album Impermanence which is out now.
Detailing themes of personal challenge, redemption and hope based on personal, philosophical viewpoints and classical mythology, Impermanence is a coming of age album of sorts for Remission who have been on a steady ascent since their birth in 2015.
Guitarist/vocalist Jacson joined HEAVY earlier this week to discuss the album in greater detail.
"Everything's pretty much full steam ahead for us at the moment, which is the best way to be," he enthused early on in the chat.
"A lot of the lyrics that I write come from a personal point of view," he continued. "I've had a lot of personal struggles over the years and I find music is a really good outlet for those things. With the themes such as the mythological themes I have kind of used as a metaphor to tell a story. Rather than being blunt about the subject matter of very personal things I like to try and weave what I'm wanting to say into a story that centres around that kind of thing. A lot of this album is about getting through hard points of your life and becoming stronger from it. I found that very cathartic to write about and have an outlet for. Some of the songs on this album call for that more emotional side of things."
In the full interview Jacson discusses the singles released from the album, the musical side of Impermanence in greater detail, what lessons the band earned from their debut album that they took into this one, how the two albums differ musically, the cover image and what it represents, upcoming shows and more.
