Fridays are your new launch day, however if you happen to’re a fan of Havok I positive hope you have been paying additional consideration as a result of if not, you’ve disadvantaged your self of the band’s new EP New Eyes. Although to be truthful, you’d be forgiven of that truth since they did zero promotion and gave zero warning that this was coming down the pipe.
The 4 monitor providing contains two unique tracks and two covers. And whereas that sounds cool at first, it will get much more attention-grabbing whenever you hear that the covers are Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s “Commotion” and Metallica‘s “Eye of the Beholder”. Simply wild shit, man.
Whereas all 4 tracks are streaming proper now, the band additionally launched a video for one of many two unique songs they dropped with this launch, “Loss of life Is An Phantasm”. We’ve obtained that one posted beneath and I gotta say, man — it kicks ass. The thrash metallic motherfuckers don’t miss.
“‘Loss of life Is An Phantasm’ is a high-intensity, fast-paced thrash metallic/D-Beat hardcore track concerning the first legislation of thermodynamics, the truth that vitality can’t be created or destroyed. The lyrics are written in a method to provide consolation and pleasure to the truth that all issues are everlasting and perpetual, together with our family members; as their vitality lives eternally scientifically, and thru our reminiscences and their affect on the world they ‘left behind.’”
Vocalist David Sanchez stated the possibility to report the aforementioned covers was an thrilling proposition, particularly since no less than one of many covers may very well be thought of a curveball from the thrash metallic outfit.
“We determined to cowl a traditional band that no person would count on us to… Credence Clearwater Revival. We’re all CCR followers and their track, ‘Commotion,’ was an ideal candidate for a correct ‘metalizing,’ since a lot of the metallic was already built-in. We made it a bit of sooner, turned up the distortion, and tweaked some riffs right here and there to bend into the Havok model.
“We had mentioned masking a Metallica track for years, however didn’t wish to cowl a giant hit that had been coated to demise, so we opted for the lesser-known ‘Eye Of The Beholder.’ We selected to cowl this track as a result of it’s so damned heavy and the lyrics replicate Havok’s lyrical themes all through the final decade. We stayed true to the unique the place it counts, however made positive to boost the bass guitar and drums to breathe new life into the monitor.”
