Boston, Massachusetts-based metal band The Offering issued debut full-length studio album Home on August 2nd, 2019 through Century Media Records.
Vocalist Alexander Richichi commented: “Home’s about feeling small, inconsequential, forgotten, wasted, and questioning how you fit in. My attempt is to see if anyone feels the same anymore. Or am I the only one? And if I’m not, where did everyone go?
“Lyrically, in this band, no word has one meaning – including Home. Home, the word, is meant to be a haven, but instead it’s often the root of our traumas. We try not to think about what home we’re born into and how it’s tied to our fate, and how we are ultimately a reflection of our home, our upbringing. It shows us our limitations, how we interpret ‘safety’.
“I would like this album to be a ‘home’ that houses people of the same mind, those who can find it as a type of refuge, especially in 2019 where so many of these emotions aren’t accessible to be openly talked about with loved ones. Home is meant to show that you’re not alone.”
Home was partly tracked at Carriage House Studios in Stamford, Connecticut. Mixing and mastering was overseen by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden.
