Florida-based band GILT has announced their upcoming album, I Saw Myself In The Black Screen, scheduled for release on June 26th via Smartpunk Records. The band describes the new record as the soundtrack to a mental breakdown, blending elements of nu-metal, metalcore, post-hardcore, and emo into a style they have categorized as “Nu Emocore.”

Alongside the album announcement, GILT released a new single titled “How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?” The track features an anime-style music video and pairs heavy, shoegaze-leaning instrumentals with a vocal mix of clean singing by Tyler Fieldhouse and screams from Asha Locke. Watch below.

According to Fieldhouse, the single’s title references the 1999 film Dogma, while the track itself explores themes of rebellion and free will. The instrumentation and busy drumwork were designed to mimic the feeling of an incessant digital information feed, drawing direct inspiration from the anime Serial Experiments Lain.

I Saw Myself In The Black Screen was recorded at Earth Sound Studios by Lee Dyess, with Hansel Romero handling production and mixing. Preorders for the album are currently available through Smartpunk Records.
