heavy metalov sulfur
05:00 Thursday, 1 December 2022
Having recently completed a sold-out North American tour with labelmates Lorna Shore, plus Aborted, Ingested and Angelmaker, Ov Sulfur - the world's first blast-phemous metalcore ov death band - has dropped a new standalone single via Century Media Records. "Death Ov Circumstance" goes light on the "blast" and heavier on the "metalcore" side of the equation, and is streaming now on all digital platforms here for those ready to hear a new side of the rising blackened deathcore heretics. The video, once again a joint effort of Vicente Cordero and MM Fabrications, can be viewed below.
Vocalist Ricky Hoover comments: "This is another perspective on the poison that is religion. Rather than directly attack the current church, I looked back on history to the Salem Witch Trials. That was a time when Christianity persecuted others, while its believers either picked up their torches at worst or turned a blind eye at best - a pretty terrible best case scenario. This is a scenario that's repeated itself throughout history during slaughters such as the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition.
Our video is more a fantasy world where the witches get their revenge. After one and her baby are burned alive, she and her friends come back to enact some sweet justice."
Guitarist/vocalist Chase Wilson adds: "After the full-on brutal attack of 'Stained In Rot,' here's a song with...ZERO BLAST BEATS! Don't worry, though, the song kicks in HARD with a churning war march and only lets up for our best melodic hooks yet. In fact, hearing the unfinished version of this track is what really opened our eyes to how diverse Ricky's vocals were - not just in screaming but also singing. Wait until you hear the bridge!"
