“We first met Dead Heat at the 100% Hardcore Fest in Bogotá in 2023, and we instantly clicked,” the band recalls. “Chris’s contribution really took this song to the next level, and we couldn’t be more excited about how it turned out.”
‘Sucker Punch’ captures the essence of Vs The World, showcasing everything that defines the band, dynamic harmonies, complex time signatures, gang choruses, mosh-pit riffs and a breakdown that’s sure to get any crowd moving. “We chose this track as the lead single because it encapsulates the core of our sound,” says the band. “It perfectly represents everything we’re about, fierce attitude, intense energy, and an evolving, mature songwriting approach.”
The video for ‘Sucker Punch’ was filmed with a live audience to capture the chaotic energy of a Poison the Preacher performance. “We were blown away by how many people showed up. The vibe was wild, and it was exactly what we wanted for the video,” the band shares. “You can feel the intensity, and that’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver.”
Vs The World represents a major milestone in the band’s musical evolution and features guest appearances from members of Dead Heat and Sanguisugabogg. “This album feels like a huge leap forward for us,” says the band. “It’s the culmination of everything we’ve done up to this point. Everything fell into place, and we’ve finally developed a sound that truly represents who we are. This is us, unapologetically.”
The band’s relentless drive to push boundaries and evolve is evident throughout the album. “This record has put us in a mindset of constant improvement, experimentation, and growth,” the band notes. “We don’t want to make the same song twice. Every track on Vs The World comes from a different place. There’s something for everyone here. Whether you’re into thrash, death metal, hardcore, or something in between, we’re bringing it all together in a fresh, unique way.”
With influences from across the heavy music spectrum, Poison the Preacher refuse to be confined to a single genre. “We’re not just a thrash band with breakdowns. We’re a proud fusion of all the heavy music you love, with a perspective that challenges what you expect from a metal band.”
For those new to Poison the Preacher, the band promises that Vs The World will offer something for every fan of heavy music. “If you’re into thrash, death metal, hardcore, anything in the heavy music world, there’s a song here for you. And for our fans, you’re going to see us evolve and diversify even more. We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we’re definitely bringing something new to the table.”
