Review :
Haven , which is set to be released on August 30 marks a significant departure from the band’s usual album release pattern as Marianas Trench has allways drop their albums in the colder months, but this time around, they’re embracing the summer with a fresh, new sound.
The album which is Produced by the band’s resident vocal powerhouse and composer, Josh Ramsay, Haven promises to be a musical journey like no other. Ramsay who is known for his innovative approach and charismatic presence, has poured his heart and soul into this project, ensuring that it not only lives up to expectations but also surpasses them.
With the intricate musical arrangements and emotional depth we’ve come to expect from Marianas Trench, this album is set to be a defining chapter in their discography.
As with many of their past works, Haven is a concept album— This time, Marianas Trench draws inspiration from Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey, a seminal text that explores the archetypal narrative of the hero’s quest. Ramsay delved deeply into Campbell’s analysis, finding that its themes resonate profoundly with every story they wanted to tell on this record. Each track is designed to reflect one of the key elements of Campbell’s heroic journey, weaving together a rich tapestry of sound and storytelling.
Guitarist Matt Webb shared his thoughts on the album, saying,
“This is what a year and a half of blood, sweat, tears, and untrimmed facial hair sounds like. We set out to make this record with the goal of one-upping ourselves; to push the sonic envelope while incorporating a lifetime of inspiration, and the high gain, high energy, unfiltered and unapologetic Marianas sound that put us on the map, so long ago. We have grown so much during the making of this record, yet together in a room, creating and listening to music, we go backwards. We feel (and act) just like kids. Life is blissful and turbulent, but when we are together, it’s safe. It’s Haven. We hope you hear and feel it the same way we do.”
The album features recent singles “A Normal Life,” “Lightning and Thunder,” and “I’m Not Getting Better,” giving us a taste of what’s to come.
