DEATH RATTLE REVEAL SECOND SINGLE/VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM
Check Out ‘Malthusian Dependency’ Prior To The Band’s Tour Starting This Weekend
New England Metal band DEATH RATTLE are back following the signing news and release of first single/video “Immersed In Black” with another great track and music video. Second single “Malthusian Dependency” is online at all platforms now, or watch the creepy music video for the song HERE: https://youtu.be/jmW2Tz7QITs
DEATH RATTLE show another element of their sound on “Malthusian Dependency,” which comes across slower, heavier and overall doomier. The music video, once again captured by Jonas Em of EmVision Productions, adds to the overall edge of the song.
“We chose ‘Malthusian Dependency’ as our second single because we feel it is probably one of the standout songs on the new album. It was the first song that was written off the album and was the most organic song. It spawned from Ryan and Chris hammering out the riffs down at the studio. We really spent little time refining it when we were tracking because the song felt complete when we walked in. It had elements of what each of us individually loved about music. It had groove elements from Ryan’s favorite bands, it had melodic thrash elements from Trey’s passions, and it had plenty of drum hooks, which Chris loved so much.”
As noted, “Malthusian Dependency” follows first single/music video “Immersed in Black” https://youtu.be/VCzu7ULuaGQ and both songs come from the group’s forthcoming new album, ‘The Moral Chokehold,” due out early summer. http://lnk.to/deathrattle
This Friday DEATH RATTLE head out for 3+ weeks supporting their friends in Lamb of God cover band Ashes of the Priest for a series of dates supporting the singles and videos and letting their presence be known. Check out DEATH RATTLE live (tour dates below) if they’re coming to your town and say hi.
But that’s not all – DEATH RATTLE have announced dates for their third trip back to Japan in March, supporting Left To Die (featuring Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, classic members of Death), The Convalescence and Japan’s Defiled.
“We’re beyond stoked to be hitting Japan with Left to Die for this insane two-day tour! The energy between these bands is going to be next level, and we can’t wait to bring the chaos to Tokyo. It will be our third journey to the land of the rising sun and we’re anxious to see a lot of familiar faces. The sets we have planned are full of old favorites and a bunch of new tunes off of the upcoming album. Playing these alongside such a great lineup will make for an insane couple of days and we cannot wait for the tour to begin.”
But wait… did I say that’s not all – DEATH RATTLE have already announced European shows and will be joining a heavy package overseas supporting Gorgoroth and Aeturnus.
“We’ve been waiting for this moment for years—joining forces with Gorgoroth to hit the road across Europe this March is going to be nothing short of legendary. Expect brutality, intensity, and a level of energy that is unmatched. This will be the first of what we hope will be many tours that will span multiple countries and cities across the EU. We will be coming in hot off of our tour with Left to Die in Japan, and we will be putting our new material to the test in front of some new audiences. Europe has been the dream for a while. It’s going to be a blast.”
Hailing from the New England area, a spot which has a long history of producing some of the most influential metal acts in modern metal, DEATH RATTLE hope to follow in the footsteps of those that came before them. DEATH RATTLE have already released two albums independently, toured the US four times including a run supporting The Convalescence and went to Japan twice in support of such luminaries as Cattle Decapitation, Revocation, Ne Obliviscaris and Wolfheart. The band seems to be building quite a reputation being invited back to Japan next March for a couple shows with Left To Die and Defiled. All this in addition to regional plays supporting Hatebreed, Soulfly, Unearth, Crowbar, Allegaeon, Philip H Anselmo and the Illegals, and even label mates Let Us Prey plus appearing at local festival plays on Mayhem Fest, Summer Slaughter, New England Metal and Hardcore Fest and the Tattoo & Music Festival.
Being sidelined by the Covid-19 pandemic DEATH RATTLE are now back stronger than ever and armed with an impactful new album that is more aggressive and unique than ever to be released next spring.
