In Hearts Wake have just dropped a monstrous new single featuring Winston McCall.

The two Aussie heavy titans have teamed up for The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ), which is taken from In Hearts Wake’s new album Incarnation, released this Friday.

Speaking about the personal and close-to-home – literally – meaning of The Flood, IHW frontman Jake Taylor reflects: “It was February 2022 and torrential rains hit our home region in Northern Rivers NSW. Entire towns swallowed two stories underwater. Homes and lives were lost. The floods were biblical. My step-dad narrowly escaped out of a second story window by jumping onto a floating mattress.

“In the weeks that followed, I was out in Lismore NSW delivering emergency supplies with the rest of the band and I bumped into Winston who was helping out on a food run. We couldn’t believe the destruction we were seeing, and yet at the same time, the resilience and strength of the people. 12 years since Winston’s last feature on Divination and it felt right to reconnect and collaborate on such an important event that happened to our community.”
