Asymmetry is the second album by British rock band Mallory Knox. It was released on 27 October 2014 via Search and Destroy and Epic Records and was produced by Gil Norton. It is the bands first release after departing from A Wolf At Your Door Records.
Background and recording
Recording began in early January 2014, when it was revealed that they where recording in 'Moles Studio' and 'Monnow Valley Studio' with producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, You Me At Six).[1] In the Rocksound magazine, the band stated that they had written 16 songs, but are going to commit to 10 or 11 of them for the follow up to their previous album, 'Signals'. They also stated that the album could be released as early as spring in the same year.[2]
The album was officially announced by the band in late June on their social media outlets, revealing the albums artwork, its title Asymmetry, it's record labels being Search and Destroy and Epic Records and also its release date of 13 October the same year, pre-orders where also made available that day.[3] The release date was delayed to 27 the same month.[4]
Composition
When going through the tracklist song by song they represent a number of things, such as their lead single "Ghost in the Mirror" which is about feeling haunted by someone's presence when they're not really there, "Getaway" is about the complications of a relationship, "Dying to Survive" vents the frustration towards the difference in treating different people, "Shout At The Moon" sings about inspirations, "Fire" tells a story of when your home and safe haven is taken away from you with "When Are We Waking Up" continuing from that stating that you still have the power to change things and you should never lose hope, "She Took Him To The Lake" expresses a range of emotions in general, "Lonely Hearts" is about forgiving and forgetting for your own sanity and "The Remedy" expresses the time where you give into emotions and urges.[5]
Two of the songs are written from Chapman's personal experience; "Heart & Desire" is a personal song to Chapman and tells a story about a person he moved away from but despite the sadness he is grateful for the times together and "Dare You" is another personal experience of Chapman's when he wrote the song during a time when he felt destroyed.[5]
Promotion
The first song heard off the album was titled "QOD II", named after a previous song from their debut EP Pilot and was streamed on BBC Radio 1 with Zane Lowe in early June. After it was played on the radio it was made available of the bands official YouTube channel.[6] The first single released was "Ghost in the Mirror" on 30 June along with the announcement of the album's other details, also revealing that "QOD II" is in fact a bonus track of the deluxe edition of the album.[3] In the following month the official music video for the single was also released, along with pre-orders also made available of which when you pre-ordered you would gain the single.[7] The third song to be released of the album was "Shout At the Moon" on 10 September and was also accompanied by a music video. The song itself is intended to be released as the second single off the album on 26 October, a day before the release of the album itself.[4]
The band is set to headline in a UK tour throughout November along with support acts Frank Iero, Fort Hope and Moose Blood.[8] Due to popular demand this tour was extended by adding another date to their London show.[4]
