Deathcore titans To The Grave have announced their highly anticipated new album. The effort is titled Everyone’s A Murderer and is slated to drop on August 30th through Unique Leader Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it now at this location.
The Australian quintet have also unleashed the first helping off the record with the debut of the video for the track “Dead Wrong” feat. Michael Kearney of Empty Cages. You can find the Karl Steller-directed clip below. Of the song, vocalist Dane Evans shares:
“Two solos from the dogs and hard riffs, we knew this had to be a single as soon as we made it. Getting Mike on it was a must after we fell in love with Empty Cages listening to their record on tour in the states and he killed it. The chorus for this one really pulled through and stitched it all together. For a while we didn’t know what was going to go there and tried a few things but this was the first attempt at this style on the album and that take made the record.”
Regarding the record itself, Evans continues:
“For this record my aim was to speak through the faceless activists that fight for animals, for those living in vystopia feeling alone and helpless in a world that will fight tooth and nail to defend the animal holocaust. Due to it being illegal to rescue farmed animals from abuse these activists must stay silent about it to avoid having their own freedom taken.
It wasn’t an easy task, it’s never going to do justice to the horrors animals go through every day by the millions in cold, dark sheds around the world or to those that have witnessed it and are doing everything they can to put an end to it. There’s no words, no lyrics and no music that can describe the violence or bring back the lives stolen by human hands so this is for them.
Our idea for this album evolved so much before it started but we knew we wanted something that sounded classic, like it was from a different decade entirely. It had to have all the elements that brought us all towards deathcore all those years ago combined with all the modern touches you’d find in the recent TTG material, all whilst trying to do something new and step outside our comfort zone in the process.
It was cool to work with the new lineup on the gritty details like production, tones and getting the energy of the drums down. Once the album was in a listenable state these guys really gave it all personality and brought everything to the table to shape this new sound.
We’re very critical of ourselves as artists and have made music in the past that for whatever reason we haven’t loved. With that in mind I think the overall goal with this record was to make something that regardless of what anyone else thought, we were proud of and I’m happy that we all had that shared vision in mind.
We probably had the most fun making this record that we’ve ever had and it felt liberating to be able to make something that we liked. It felt like starting the band from new again and only having the pressure of wanting to write cool shit.
The singles are tough as fuck and I think do a good job of representing the blunt force approach on the album leaving a tonne of surprises in the sharps bin for when people pick it up on release day. That should make sense when it drops.”
On top of all this wonderful news, To The Grave have confirmed a pair of album release shows in their native Australia. Supporting them on the dates will be No Life. An exclusive pre-sale for their Gravesect Discord Members will go live at 9:00AM AEST this coming Monday, July 1st. You can join the discord here.
