Here it is, one of the best damn death metal singles of 2024. Undeath<\/a><\/strong> is now streaming their new single “Brandish The Blade” from their upcoming record More Insane<\/em> due out July 29. the single comes alongside a video directed and edited by Errick Easterday<\/strong>, and music that’ll make you throw a whole building.<\/p>\n “‘Brandish the Blade’ was one of the first songs that came together for More Insane<\/em> and it’s easily one of the most anthemic songs that we’ve ever written. Specifically it’s about a conquering army (probably of the undead, as is our M.O.) moving from battlefield to battlefield and annihilating anything and anyone who gets in their way, but broadly speaking I’ve always felt that it was a call to arms for all those who believe that death metal in all its unadulterated glory is something worth fighting for,” said Undeath<\/a><\/strong> of the single.<\/p>\n “The chorus repeats the line ‘The time is now’, and I see that as a natural evolution from the chorus of ‘Rise from the Grave’, which was the first single from our last record. We’ve risen from the grave, and now it’s time to brandish the fucking blade.”<\/p>\n More Insane<\/em> is available for pre-order here<\/a>. Of the album announcement, Undeath<\/a><\/strong> comments: “More Insane<\/em> is the biggest, baddest, nastiest Undeath<\/a><\/strong> record yet by every conceivable metric. It’s a fucking sick death metal record for sick death metal freaks and anyone out there who can appreciate the transcendent power of a good riff played fast on distorted electric guitars. No bullshit whatsoever \u2013 not even for a second. 10 tracks of death metal earworms crafted by 5 guys who shower just irregularly enough to invoke the spirits of the death metal ancient ones.<\/p>\n “Follow me on this one for a sec: In weightlifting terms, if our last record, It’s Time\u2026to Rise from the Grave<\/em> was our cut cycle record, where we trimmed the fat and honed things down to the raw essentials, More Insane<\/em> is us entering our bulk cycle, where we built a big, filthy record on top of a canvas of pure death metal muscle. We co-produced it with Mark Lewis<\/strong>, who engineered, mixed and mastered the whole thing and made the best sounding album we’ve ever made. It’ll sound absolutely killer on literally anything you play it on, and it’ll sound even better if you turn it way the fuck up.<\/p>\n “There’s songs about advancing armies of the undead, demonic bounty hunters, homicide, perverse experiments gone horribly awry, dead people screaming and crying tears of blood, homicide (again), and so much more. Matt<\/strong> [Browning<\/strong>, drummer] painted the cover art and this marks the end of the trilogy of paintings starting back with Lesions of a Different Kind<\/em>, where we’ve zoomed out far enough now to reveal that the entire fucked up universe of these covers has taken place entirely within the collapsed and bursting skull of a rotting godhead floating in a soulless void.<\/p>\n “To put a bow on it all: More Insane is the sickest shit we’ve ever done, full stop. Death metal reigns supreme forever and we are but its humble servants. Enjoy and smoke em if you’ve got em.”\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
