All Hail The Yeti are streaming a new track from their forthcoming studio album Screams From A Black Wilderness titled “Mr. Murder”. The song features guest vocals from Brock Lindow of 36 Crazyfists. Frontman Connor Garritty says of the collaboration:
“We knew early in the writing of the record that we wanted Brock Lindow on the album. Brock and Matt were friends as well so it seemed fitting that this would be the song he sang on. It was special for me to have Brock on the album and this song in particular because he is one of my best friends as well and such an influence to me as a vocalist. “Mr. Murder” has become an anthem to my best friend immortalizing him forever. It is very emotional for me when performing this. I go between sadness and great happiness by the end of the song.”
The song also serves as a tribute to a friend of the vocalist. Garritty says of the song itself:
“‘Mr. Murder’ was written about my best friend Matt who passed away last year. He was one of the most influential people for me growing up and throughout my music career. The song was originally written in tribute to him and his unbelievable strength and passion for life. He left us unexpectedly before I could show him the song. It was supposed to be a surprise, almost a thank you to him for helping in more ways than he knew.”
Screams From A Black Wilderness is scheduled for an April 8th release through minus HEAD Records. Pre-orders can be picked up via Bandcamp, Amazon, and iTunes.
