To The Grave Readying "Offcuts" EP & Deluxe Edition Of "Director's Cuts", Debut "Shock Tactics [1000v]" Video

Aussie deathcore outfit To The Grave will have a new EP titled “Offcuts” out on September 15th. The digital only release will feature six new songs and a cover of Enter Shikari‘s 2015 “Anaesthetist“. Those six original tracks will also be included with the newly announced deluxe edition of the To The Grave‘s latest album “Director’s Cuts“. That effort will also arrive on September 15th, but on vinyl and CD formats. Pre-orders are available here.

A video for the new single “Shock Tactics [1000v]” has has made its way online, with the band offering:

“‘Shock Tactics‘ is the first single from our new EP Offcuts, a collection of songs scavenged off the cutting room floor of our Director’s Cuts album. This release brings together the songs that we felt were out of place in the sequence of the album but that we still loved and we’re very pleased to be able to finally release them out into the world.

We’ll also be presenting the EP and the album together on vinyl and CD for the Director’s Cuts: Deluxe Edition, showcasing the full scope of the material we originally created for the album.

We make no apologies for the graphic nature of the lyrics and accompanying video for this song. This was not staged or recreated, this is real footage of standard meat industry practices – the use of toxic gas to suffocate animals before cutting their throats. We have used footage from an Australian slaughterhouse because this violence is occurring in our backyard, but it is happening in yours too.”

The aforementioned video was banned by YouTube with a censored version having been uploaded in its place. You can view the uncensored version of the video over at tothegraveau.com
