The Reticent debuted the video for the album’s lead single ‘Stage 2: The Captive‘ last month.
The album’s will release next month will come more than four years after the release of its most recent album, 2016’s On The Eve of a Goodbye. That record chronicled the day before, of, and after the suicide of Hathcock’s friend Eve.
The musical content featured in The Oubliette exhibits influences from Tool and fellow North Carolina-based band Between The Buried and Me.
Hathcock discussed the album’s lyrical theme in a recent interview.
“As with my previous album, I hope that ‘The Oubliette’ will provide listeners with a rich and emotionally challenging audio experience,” he said. “This is undoubtedly the most ambitious record The Reticent has attempted to date. The hope is that listeners will be personally affected by the music on a deep level and that it may draw some attention to a disease that is frighteningly prominent but frequently poorly understood. There will be moments that are soothing and there will be moments that are overwhelming. The story I have to tell is not a happy one but it is an important one – and it is often through the pain that we find the most profound reflection and calls to action.”
