In March,
Gel will release its debut full-length,
Only Constant, a record which vocalist Sami Kaiser told Brooklyn Vegan, is, "about trying to live more of a happy and healthy life."
"I've been in recovery for alcoholism for the past couple years and really taking it seriously," Kaiser added. "I’ve learned a lot about myself and how to address negative feelings, and the album is about trying to let go of those self-destructive tendencies and embrace change."
Ahead of the album, the New Jersey hardcore band was in Ybor City to rip up
Crowbar alongside Heaven's Gate—a locally-based metal supergroup of sorts featuring Tony Foresta of Municipal Waste—which is playing in support of its own brand new
self-titled release.
