Steven Pirois has shared his latest single, “Rites of Passage,” a numetal-driven storm of sound and emotion. Drawing from Ernest Hemingway’s philosophy of stripping language and life down to their bare essence, the song encapsulates moments when everything is lost—only to find that this loss becomes an opportunity for reinvention.
It’s the latest offering from his album Shadow Gains, which is out now.
Shadow Gains is a journey through the complexities of modern self-improvement, the resilience and the human condition. Inspired by philosophical ideas, experiences lived experiences and the raw emotions of transformation, this project explores the reality nuanced behind the pursuit of growth.
Each theme serves as a distinct but interconnected exploration of themes such as responsibility, ambition, vulnerability and courage to face the struggles of life with authenticity. The album delves into the paradoxes of transformation personal, addressing the high cost of success, the isolation of self-discipline relentlessness and unspoken tensions in relationships.
Musically, Shadow Gains is as diverse as its themes. Pass the energy aggressive nu-metal and industrial rhythms to the soulful introspection of blues and the theatricality of Broadway-inspired compositions.
Steven Pirois is a forward-thinking music composer who harnesses the latest advancements in technology to craft innovative and original compositions, pushing the boundaries of modern music creation.
