The Last Ten Seconds Of Life‘s seventh studio album “The Dead Ones” has been slated to receive an April 17th release date via their new label home of Metal Blade Records. The deathcore band worked with the production team of Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Galactic Empire) on this new effort, which boasts plenty of guest appearances.
Among them are Signs of The Swarm vocalist David Simonich on “Make It To Heaven“, ex-Fit For An Autopsy, etc. vocalist Nate Johnson on “Rat Trap“, Distant vocalist Alan Grnja on “Dollar To A Dime“, and original The Last Ten Seconds Of Life vocalist Storm Strope on “XXXXXXXXXX“.
The Last Ten Seconds Of Life guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin went on to say of this record:
“Everyone took what we learned from the past two releases and assembled what we thought would bring out the best of us. We examined all of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life‘s past work as well focused on how our fanbase digested and connected with our music. Focusing from the flow of structure all the way to every single word that was used. We have delivered a ten-song thriller that will bellow out through the ages.”
A press release notes that the album’s title track is, “about how the actions of humanity can take an individual’s actual innate humanity away.” McLaughlin went on to add:
“We all know that feeling. The piercing desire to be able to have one more conversation or final words with a loved one who has passed. ‘The Dead Ones‘ explores this in an illuminated way through the delivery of a sonic séance, where the realization that in becoming a vessel for the dead, darkness and light both demand their due.”
Eric DiCarlo (Born Of Osiris, Signs Of The Swarm) took on directing the music video for this lead track, which you can check out for yourself below.
