The Behaviour’s ‘A Sin Dance’ Moves Through Redemption To Renewal

Gothic Post-Rock leaning project The Behaviour has recently released the album, A Sin Dance. Recorded throughout 2022, the album features seven new tracks entirely written, arranged, and performed by Der Baron M. Kilpatric.

Culled from a wealth of material written over the past few years, these were specifically selected for “their dynamic, eclectic, and diverse nature to give but a taste of what is to come.”

The new album was entirely written, arranged, and performed by Kilpatric himself. While currently located in New England, this album culminated from his time residing in Colorado and the Midwest.

While the music may be dark and melancholic on the surface, underneath the album shares “introspective messages of redemption, healing, and renewal found through experienced loss and traumas.”

Kilpatric shares about the album:

This album was many years in the making. I started writing it in 2020, and began the recording process in 2022. It came about by a combination of things – separation, loneliness, the pandemic, loss, trauma, longing, sobriety, and became a healing process in doing so. Shadow work in its purest form. After being the drummer in a number of groups on many different levels over many, many years, I thought it was time to step up and out from behind the kit and take the reins completely. I wanted to prove, to myself more than anyone, that it could be done. To create something that was pure and organic, with many aural and lyrical textures, meanings, and layers. I aimed to utilize the universal language to truly exemplify what drives me, what makes me who I am, for all to see and hear out on display in sheer vulnerability. It is definitely introspective and emotional, as well as giving glimpses of perspectives faced outwards. I hope that is conveyed.
