Canada’s Abandon All Ships have loudly announced their comeback with new single, ‘Loafting’. As their first release since reuniting with their original line-up (including ex-Woe, Is Me member Andrew Paiano), the metalcore sextet has polished their electronic sound, finally straying away from the obscenely auto-tuned vocals of 2012’s Infamous and 2013’s Malocchio. The track combines a fusion of hardcore and electronic dance beat drops that are broken up by unclean vocals. Synth piano is layered over a haunting echoed guitar during the verses that engages with sporadic track stutters. ‘Loafting’ is a great first release to promote the band’s revival.
