Ov Sulfur‘s new standalone single “Seed” has touched down online. Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, King 810) produced, mixed and mastered this latest track from the blackened deathcore outfit, who are fronted by ex-Suffokate vocalist Ricky Hoover. The latter had the following to say about this track:
“‘Seed‘ is about the constant doubt I feel in every facet of life and how I feel we all share that together. Imagine how it would eat away at you if so-called ‘eternal life’ were real? Sounds like torture to me: more hell than heaven.”
Guitarist/vocalist Chase Wilson added:
“This was the first song we started writing for what may or may not be a new album. I think we’ve improved our songwriting in leaps and bounds once again, which we already did from the EP to ‘The Burden Ov Faith‘, and the reaction to this song live on our tour with Nekrogoblikon backs that up.
‘Seed‘ has one of our best choruses yet, and we use it around melodeath riffs and brutal deathcore breakdowns. Actually, we even put it on top of the song-ending breakdown, where it fits perfectly—after already playing it standard and even blasting through it to give it another flavor. This song has every flavor of Ov Sulfur and then some!”
As mentioned by Wilson above, it would appear that work on the band’s sophomore album is underway.
