PREMIERE: TAKE FLIGHT “A MODERN ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE”

Take Flight has extended the emotive, evocative, ambient post-rock session with introspective lyrics spiraling down to sink into the melancholy, thought-provoking cave environment fully.

Dwelling in the reflection of one’s own creation, being trapped in limitations, “A Modern Allegory of the Cave” explores the cave symbolism with their remarkable musicality and unexpected color palette.

Like finding a lost item, they are always in the least place you look. Just when you’re expecting an explosive development, Take Flight shrugs your hand off and continues in their own storytelling. When you were almost convinced that this would be the struggling, wrenching song, the song suddenly takes off and lands at exactly where you want them to be.  

The middle session of “A Modern Allegory of the Cave” has a fascinating, natural blend of hard rock, metalcore, and melodic, emo vocal delivery. The variety of influences and musical backgrounds is coming to play to its full extent in the song.  

The theoretical impossible are being challenged and realized in the cathartic allegory. An interplay between a horsed, nostalgic Link Park-infused scream and a clean, emo belt finds its place perfectly in the high energy, hard-hitting, expansive sonic ground.
