Imagine Dragons reveal fifth studio album Mercury – Act 1
Mercury – Act 1 is the fifth studio album from Imagine Dragons, the best-selling rock band of the last decade.
Executive Produced by Rick Rubin, the new album from the Las Vegas band features the singles "Wrecked," "Follow You" and "Cutthroat," and explores themes such as love, faith, pain, passion and loss. Mercury – Act 1 is available everywhere September 3, 2021 on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records.
The lead single "Wrecked" was inspired by singer Dan Reynolds' late sister-in-law who died from cancer. Reynolds said in a statement about Alisha Durtschi Reynolds: "She was the brightest light. A beacon of joy and strength for everyone she met. Her sudden passing has shaken me in ways that I still am unable to express.
"I was with her and my brother when she passed, and it was the first time in my life that I had witnessed death in this way. It sealed into my mind the fragility of life and finality of this all. I've watched my brother face something that no one should have to. But I've also seen his faith bring him hope in a future with her. I can only hope for the same."
Reynolds continued: "This song was my way of dealing with it all, as music has always been my refuge. No longer being a man of fervent faith, I can only hope that she hears it somewhere in a place where she is healed and no longer in pain. This song is my wish for an eternity with those that I love."
