Shores Of Null have released "Homesick", the title track of their fifth studio album, arriving on 16 October under Dusktone.

The new single moves closer to the emotional core of a record shaped around questions of memory, belonging, and the complex meaning of home. "Homesick" embodies the band's characteristic intersection of brooding heaviness, melancholy, and melodic nuance, while allowing a more intimate side of their songwriting to surface. It was also the first piece written for the album, ultimately becoming a central reference point for its overarching themes and atmosphere.

Singer Davide Straccione comments: "'Homesick' was the very first song written for the album, and in many ways it set the emotional direction for everything that followed. I still remember Raffaele coming up with the opening riff while we were on tour with Swallow The Sun back in 2023 and playing it during soundchecks almost every day. From that moment on, it felt like the seed from which the entire record would grow. Because of that, it couldn't be anything other than the title track. Musically, it's one of the most reflective and introspective moments on the album. Lyrically, the song revolves around the contradiction contained within the very idea of homesickness itself: the longing to return to something familiar while knowing that what we call 'home' may also be the source of our pain. The recurring line 'My home is dangerous' embodies that tension between attraction and repulsion, while the question 'Will I return?' remains deliberately unanswered. After all, what is home? For some, it's a place of comfort and safety. For others, it may be a place marked by war, violence, abuse or painful memories. And yet, for better or worse, it remains home, and a part of who we are".
