Koyo Premiere New Single & Music Video "Irreversible" From Upcoming New Album "Barely Here"

Long Island melodic hardcore outfit Koyo have announced their sophomore album Barely Here, set for release on May 8 via Pure Noise Records. Once again produced by Jon Markson, the new record also features guest appearances from Drain vocalist Sammy Ciaramitaro and Fleshwater vocalist/guitarist Marisa Shirar. The track “Irreversible,” which closes out the album, has been released as its lead single. An accompanying music video for the song can be found below.

Speaking on the vision behind the album, frontman Joey Chiaramonte said:

“I think we’d learned so much about our process from making ‘Would You Miss It?‘ that we knew exactly what we wanted going into this one and it came together with more of an instinctual kind of magic to it. A lot of bands think their second album has to be this magnum opus epic that sews so many things together, and I think we’d actually taken more of that approach with our first LP.

So with ‘Barely Here‘ we wanted to do the opposite of that trajectory–we wanted to refine our strengths instead of doing this purposeful departure. It’s a snapshot of what our band is in its most no-frills, perfected form.”
