Archspire‘s new album “Too Fast To Die” was officially unveiled today, December 09th. That fifth studio album from the Canadian technical death metal band looks set to keep up with their rapid-fire technical death metal onslaught, complete with their latest drummer Spencer Moore (Inferi) in tow. This latest opus, due out April 10th, found the band stepping out on their own, turning to crowdfunding, where they raised a staggering $396,326 CAD ($286,000 USD) to get it made.
Recording sessions for “Too Fast To Die took place with Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Aborted) producing, mixing and mastering. The song “Carrion Ladder” is your audio (and visual) introduction into this new record, with the band’s own Dean Lamb and Oliver Rae Aleron co-directing the below video for it. Vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron commented:
“What’s that, Archspire is newly single??? OH Archspire‘s NEW single!! After 4 years of hard work, dedication, evading police, evidence tampering, espionage, supreme court rulings, rico charges and AA meetings, we’re finally able to present to our few remaining fans a brand-new music video for our first single ‘Carrion Ladder’ off of our upcoming album ‘Too Fast To Die’ Please enjoy with the whole family this holiday season! (No moms were injured in the making of this film)”
Regarding the reveal of the album, he went on to say:
“Santa Claus is coming… early… directly down the chimney with a fat sack full of pre-order bundles for our 5th and most insane album yet! After going through more drummers than toilet paper at a chili eating contest, we are finally able to announce the release of ‘Too Fast To Die.’ This is the first record we’ve ever produced as a fully independent band. We want to send out a ton of big sloppy joe kisses to everyone who believed in us and supported our Independence Day Kickstarter campaign! It’s because of your tech support that this album can finally reach people’s ears. We hope you all love it as much as we do!”
