GET THE SHOT ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM MERCILESS DESTRUCTION OUT OCTOBER 7 VIA NEW DAMAGE RECORDS
BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR “BLOODBATHER” — WATCH
SONG FEATURES MATTHIAS TARNATH OF NASTY
Quebec City’s GET THE SHOT have announced their new album Merciless Destruction, out October 7 via New Damage Records. Pre-order it here.
The band has dropped the video for the ferocious new track “Bloodbather.” The track features Matthias Tarnath of Nasty. Watch it here.
“The human race is the only species that ironically shines by its capacity to destroy the conditions of life itself,” the band says about the song’s bleak and apocalyptic subject matter. “Mankind is a disease and is doomed to generate its own extinction. ‘Bloodbather’ is a song based on this pessimistic observation and celebrates the downfall of man as a benediction. Since we’re the greatest threat this world has ever seen, may we all rot and burn in hell.”
Merciless Destruction marks the awaited return of Get the Shot.
As with No Peace In Hell (2014) and Infinite Punishment (2017), the upcoming fourth album sees the band exploring new territories of extreme music, while sticking to its roots and its fierce DIY approach to music.
Following the thrash-influenced Infinite Punishment, Get the Shot incorporate death metal and beatdown elements on Merciless Destruction. Over countless tours across the globe, the band has taken inspiration from many bands along the way and refined its sound, while also taking influence from some of the top-heavy artists such as Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Machine Head.
On Merciless Destruction, Get the Shot consolidate their independent approach despite a tedious and fraught recording process. Hardcore community anchorage has never been greater, driven by a clear strategy, a group on top of their game, and unwavering dedication. After more than 500 concerts on three continents, including some on the biggest international stages such as Hellfest, Jera On Air, Summerbreeze, and Groezrock, the five members remain committed to the core values of authenticity, integrity, and equality at the heart of the hardcore movement, while addressing with disillusioned realism the flaws of an era defined by blind individualism.
The truth is what we get with Get the Shot: straight forward, no sugar-coating.
As brutal and cruel as reality can be, the ability to confront and overcome it depends on our ability to face it head-on.
