Outworld

Outworld is the debut studio album by English nu metalcore band Black Coast, released on 19 November 2021. Background The album was intended to be funded by a £10,000 IndieGoGo campaign, which reached 11% of its goal before closing. Lyrical themes expressed across the album deal with vocalist Charlie Hewitt's mental health and addiction problems, notably the song "Addict". Hewitt describes "Ache", the first track, as follows: "Ache has a mixture of meanings, I like to think this one was born out of all the shit we have been through in the years as a band. As people it’s that sum of all the problems we’ve faced but being very good at hiding them from each other and from the people listening when in fact we are just as the line says, ‘embracing the chaos’. Surrounding ourselves, life is hard and everyone has different things going on but l like to think this song brings us together to say ‘fuck you’ to those problems."
