Danish metallic hardcore outfit Lifesick have aligned with Metal Blade Records and will be releasing their label debut early next year. That outing will emerge as a three-song EP titled “Love And Other Lies” and will be released on January 12th.
The song “Rude Awakening” has been released with a video ahead of time and finds Fuming Mouth‘s Mark Whelan guesting. Likewise, Nails‘ Todd Jones has contributed guest vocals to one of the EP’s cuts: “Reverse Birth“. The song “Every Unpleasant Emotion” will also appear on the EP.
Plans are underway for the band to enter the studio next year to begin recording their next studio album. Lifesick commented:
“We are extremely excited to announce our signing with Metal Blade Records and to release our first single off the new EP featuring none other than Fuming Mouth’s Mark Whelan. We’ve been fans of Fuming Mouth and Mark since the start. Mark had shown interest in our music on a previous album, so we felt the timing was ideal to invite him to collaborate on this track.
We believed his sound would be a perfect fit for this song, and he contributed to the vibe flawlessly. We’re incredibly honored that he immediately said ‘YES.’ ‘Love and Other Lies‘ is our most personal project yet, the EP explores the idea that love isn’t always positive, and even the people we trust the most can cause hurt, or we may hurt them, all while reflecting Simon‘s own life experiences honestly and candidly. This EP sets the tone for our upcoming full-length album, which we plan to record next year. Expect raw honesty and unapologetic brutality; no nonsense here.”
