UK electronicore outfit Cabin Boy Jumped Ship returns to the heavy music scene with the release of their brand-new single, “Chemicals.” Ending a three-year hiatus, the Leicestershire-born band delivers a track that blends metalcore intensity with the rhythmic pulse of EDM. The production features crushing riffs and enormous vocals, signaling a bold new chapter that aligns with the modern sounds of artists like Spiritbox and Bad Omens. This comeback follows their previous full-length album, ‘Sentiments,’ and was co-written, mixed, and mastered by producer Ben Gaines.
The band describes the new track as an exploration of the natural chemistry in the brain that drives emotions and connections. “Chemicals is our first release since Sentiments (2022), exploring the natural chemistry in our brains that drives our emotions and connections,” the band shares. They explain that the song is about the rush, the comedown, and the overwhelming feeling of a mind pulling the strings. “Energetic and introspective, it reflects the intensity of feeling everything all at once,” the group adds regarding the thematic depth of the music.
Cabin Boy Jumped Ship has established a global reputation for high-octane live shows and genre-fluid songwriting since forming in 2013. Their history includes extensive touring across Europe, Russia, and the Philippines, sharing stages with prominent acts such as Electric Callboy and We Came As Romans. The group has also performed at major international events, including Download Festival and Impericon Fest. This experience has solidified their position as a significant export in the electronicore scene, known for bringing a party atmosphere to massive crowds worldwide.
The new era for the band builds upon a discography that includes the albums ‘The Heartless’ and ‘Sentiments.’ Previous collaborations with metal heavyweights like James Harrison of Oceans Ate Alaska and Richard Sjunnesson of The Unguided have further cemented their international standing. Now refreshed and recharged, the quartet is prepared to make their biggest impact yet with this latest release. “Chemicals” is currently available for streaming and download on all major digital platforms. The track marks the beginning of a relentless schedule as the band prepares for future live assaults.
