The song appears on the Los Angeles-area band's beastly new album, Songs for the Enamel Queen – its first new music in five years, out February 26th on Silent Pendulum Records.

According to vocalist Brandon Gillichbauer, the song describes "the cathartic release that comes from the desire and acceptance of being loathed by someone who once loved you.”

“‘New Measures of Failure' finds the Californian sludge lords wading deeper into the surreal swamp," says Decibel. Black Sheep Wall's colossally heavy brand of hypno-dirge can be traced to bands like Neurosis and Isis, but the band brings a sense of savagery beyond what most peers in that genre possess. Nasty riffs surge like tidal waves, propelled by octopus drumming and raw, wrathful vocals. Over 60 minutes of music, Songs for the Enamel Queen is full of surprises — Slint-style spoken words, a trumpet waltz, and more — but the intensity never wavers.
