One of thrash metal's most exciting young contenders, Hazzerd, have released a second song from the group’s third album (to be released January 17). While “Deathbringer” saw the Canadian quartet come roaring back with a heavy, intense track that never lost sight of its melody and catchiness, the oddly named follow-up – no that’s not a typo – “ThArSh TiLl DeTh” offers up another facet of the group’s repertoire.
“The newest single off our upcoming 3rd album is the quote ‘silly track’ on the record. Continuing a tradition from both our debut album, Misleading Evil and sophomore album, Delirium, by adding in a light-hearted, funny sounding track. The song is spelt all weird & unorthodox as the word ‘Tharsh’ comes from us being silly kids and calling the genre Tharsh as opposed to Thrash and the uppercase/lowercase lettering is meant to portray someone mocking the term Thrash till Death,” explains drummer/singer Dylan Westendorp.
“The lyrics really are pointed at our younger selves as we truly didn’t listen to anything other than metal music and we thought less of people who did. So basically, the track is making fun of us when we were metal elitists haha. A very fun and fast song--straight to the point. The party song on ‘The 3rd Dimension.’ Please enjoy the music video we put together. We think you will! Now on YouTube!”
The clip features the new full line-up of Hazzerd, including the debut appearance from new guitarist Nick Schwartz (also of Tymo).
The track appears on Hazzard’s new album, The 3rd Dimension, out January 17, 2025 via M-Theory Audio. Available as a jewelcase CD or on limited colored vinyl Rough Seas (200) for the N. American version and Mars Attacks (300) as the European variant, as well as a 100 limited run of cassettes exclusively from the band and label.
The 3rd Dimension is the follow-up to 2020’s Delirium, one of the best and consistent sellers at M-Theory Audio that even received a nod from Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine who championed the group as a promising thrash hopeful, alongside Power Trip. The 3rd Dimension was mastered by Johnny Gasparic (Into Eternity) and features cover artwork once again by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Skeletonwitch). Preorder here.
“Thank you all for being so patient with us while we worked on the band as a whole and the new album over the last few years,” states Dylan. “We really can’t wait for you to hear it. This is for you -- the fans, the underground.”
