At the Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods awards last week, deathcore superstars in training Suicide Silence performed the new song "Wake Up," from their upcoming Machine-produced album. Now, the band has decided to stream another track, "Lifted." The tune features more nuances and dynamics than most of the songs on the band's debut "The Cleansing," but it's still bloodier than a slaughter house drain, featuring a choking assortment of blast beats, pig squeals and guitar histrionics. Click more for a preview of the carnage. And get ready for a podcast interview with the band from the Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods coming Friday. Read more...
If you're unsure whether or not you want to spend hard-earned money on the new Static-X record, Cannibal (which comes out April 3), the entire disc can be streamed here.
Once you hear songs like "Cannibal," "Behemoth" and "No Submission," we think you'll agree that this baby's worth the price of admission. The album features the heaviest, most abrasive music the band has released since 2001's Machine, and is both a reflection of the times and an expression of frontman Wayne Static's desire to return to his roots.
"I think it's the most metal record we've ever made, and it's arguably the heaviest record we've ever made," he says. "But with this record, I had a good time just getting back to balls-out screaming and challenging myself vocally, as well as in the songwriting. I felt like I was back working on [our first album] Wisconsin Death Trip, where I focused on stripping away the excess as much as possible to write short, simple, catchy songs."
Cannibal was produced by John Travis, who has previously worked with Buckcherry and Kid Rock), and the album track "No Submission" was featured on the soundtrack for "Saw III."
