Official press release:
Southern California quartet Spite, described by AllMusic as a “decibel-and-soul-crushing deathcore unit… who employ a lethal blend of death metal, metalcore, and neo-nu-metal,” are thrilled to announce their new album New World Killer. It arrives October 31 via Rise Records. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band — Darius Tehrani, vocals; Alex Tehrani; guitar; Ben Bamford, bass; and Travis Regnier, drums — shares the video for the first single “Lights Out”. Watch it below. It’s creepy, blasphemous, and brutal. It also features twisted religious imagery and some insane figure eight headbanging.
So it’s basically awesome and perfectly aligns with the song’s brutally technical riffing and hellbound vocals.
Overall, the song and the video land like a series of left hooks and haymakers to the throat! The Tehrani Brothers state:
“‘Lights Out’ is a depiction of lack in social awareness. Not everyone’s boundaries are shared. The most dangerous person is the one who has nothing to lose.”
The New World Killer track listing and features will be revealed in due time.
Spite will also be touring this fall supporting Fit For a King and Make Them Suffer. All dates are below.
