about

Nick Burks: Our first single off our upcoming album encapsulates the vibe of the record, which is a soundscape to our pondering of time and impermanence.

The song’s hook came from a riff I wrote in the summer of 2015 while in Portland, Oregon, just after recording our album, Blood Moon. When I got back to Louisville, Kentucky, I worked through the rest of the song with guitarist Brian Omer. We wanted trippy, dark guitar melodies and hardcore beatdowns to keep the song creepy and heavy. The zigzag, harmonized guitar lick at the end is my tribute to Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner and his unparalleled shredding throughout The Sound of Perseverance. My brain melted the first time I heard that album, and it’s a major influence and inspiration.

The lyrical themes came from a couple of places. Omer’s was written in response to the Paris attacks in 2015. The lyrics “Innocent blood has been thrown” reflect our reactions to that tragedy. The anger about the situation and wishing you could have done something. The inspiration I felt was coming from writing a song that would outlive the writer. The lyric line “Carved in time / Cut into stone” expresses what we’ve created as a band, to make your mark in this lifetime before you are gone forever. The lyrics for the beatdown middle section were inspired by the act of murder. “Die killing” sounds psychotic so we went with it. It’s our battle cry for the end of times.

lyrics

Carved in time, cut into stone
Innocent blood has been thrown
Lost faith in humanity
With the worst yet to be
Know thyself, know this is dire
Fight with fire, flames burning higher
Fate of man, to ravage the land
The apocalypse is at hand
Die killing, sharpen your blade
Die killing, we've come to slay
Ready to die, total war
Ready to kill, religions scorn
Die killing, watch them fall
Die killing, death to all
Ready to die, with dignity
Ready to kill, unmercifully
Why have you forsaken me to die
