Phoenix, AZ-based brutal death metal band Atoll will be dropping their new album “Death Roll Party 9000” on January 15th via Unique Leader Records. Leading off the campaign for that new studio outing is the song “Weed Witch“. The group linked up with Dan Tucker, vocalist of Colorado deathcore band Crown Magnetar, for it and the below music video. Atoll went on to say of it:
“‘Weed Witch‘ is one of those songs where we wanted to write something that was just absolutely disgusting but still fun. The song is built around a really heavy, slow groove with a bunch of tempo changes, nasty riffs, and huge breakdowns. The drums get pretty wild on this one, constantly switching between grooving, and those slower crushing sections that make you want to punch drywall Kyle style.
The idea behind the song is a ridiculous take on modern internet culture—a goth OnlyFans witch who puts curses on dudes through Cash App and other digital payment platforms. It’s not really about money, it’s just making fun of how weird everything has gotten and how crazy life is right now.
We were super stoked to have Dan Tucker from Crown Magnetar jump on this track. We’ve been fans of his vocals for a long time, and he absolutely killed his part. We were lucky enough to have him be part of the music video we shot in Denver too, which made the whole thing even cooler. Dan is an awesome dude and a monster vocalist, and we couldn’t be happier with how this song came out.
‘Weed Witch‘ is definitely one of the heavier, slower songs on Death Roll Party 9000, and it’s a perfect example of the kind of weird, chaotic, and heavy stuff we love writing.”
Outside of Tucker lending his talents, Vehemence‘s Nathan Gearheart appears on “Swamp Terror Alligator“, while Vladislav Martirosov and Arseny Kovalchuk of Atoll labelmates Extermination Dismemberment guest on “Atomic Sunburn“.
Recording sessions for this effort saw the band’s former guitarist Spencer Ferguson contribute. Tracking took place at Filthy Swine Productions with Wade Taylor behind the boards. Miguel Tereso was brought in to mix and master it.
