San Fransisco (CA) – Capitalizing on the success of the previously released official video for new single “Warheads in the Sky,” Bay Area Hardcore/Thrash/Groove Metal quartet ALMOST DEAD have now released a lyric video for the track. The video is available at: youtu.be/9LILTNpYkDk.
“Warheads in the Sky” is the first single from forthcoming album Destruction Is All We Know and is also available on Spotify and Apple Music.
ALMOST DEAD will release Destruction Is All We Know on January 26, 2024. The album is the band’s sixth, and the first for Innerstrength Records.
On the forthcoming album, ALMOST DEAD take their sound even further into realms of the extreme, building off all of their previous influences, incorporating new ones, and growing their reach both internationally and domestically.
Since forming in Martinez, CA in 2004, ALMOST DEAD has been churning out an aggressive blend of thrash, groove metal and hardcore. The group’s sound is influenced by the likes of Pantera and Sepultura, infused with that of their local Bay Area scene like Testament and Machine Head, as well as incorporating more modern influences such as New England metalcore and New York death metal. ALMOST DEAD has created their own original style that still includes all the elements of metal you know and love.

BIO:
ALMOST DEAD have released five full-length albums to date: Almost Dead (2007), Internal Chaos (2008), Mindfucked (2012), Lay Me Down To Waste (2018), and Brutal Onslaught (2021).
In a 10/10-rated review, Jennytate.wordpress.com called 2018’s Lay Me Down To Waste “a slab of steel driven rage and blood spurting horror, like you’ve never heard before. Atmospherically dense, with visual assault and gothic mind terror. Almost Dead are masters at brevity of power. ‘LMDTW’ multiplies the energy and strength of even the heaviest of metal albums. Leaving you terrorized, traumatized and gagging for more.”
Metal Hammer Spain called 2021’s Brutal Onslaught “one of the best metal releases of the year…for the faithful of American thrash metal,” referring to it as an album that demonstrated “incredible virtuosity” and “characterized by the great variety of riffs and the power it has from beginning to end.”
In early 2021 ALMOST DEAD signed a worldwide deal with Art Gates Records, looking to take their unique blend of metal music and intense live performances and share it with the rest of the world. In partnership with the Flaming Arts Agency, ALMOST DEAD embarked on the “Black Rituals Tour 2021″ in Europe, alongside co-headliners Batushka (PL) and Belphegor (AT), as well as fellow support Diabolical (SE) and Warhammer (GR).
ALMOST DEAD continues to play all across California, as well as internationally.
