Australian vegan deathcore group To The Grave have locked in a new label home with BLKIIBLK. The outfit have premiered a new song titled “EYESTALK ABLATIONS” for the occasion, with vocalist Dane Evans stating the following of the song:
“‘EYESTALK ABLATIONS‘ is a shotgun blast to the face: claustrophobic, heavy from front to back and not a second wasted on room to breathe. This track feels like the old version of TTG got dragged out the back and shot, then someone bagged up the bits and made a monster out of it with some parts of Lamb Of God and Cerebral Bore to make up what’s missing.”
Colin Jeffs (Northlane, HEAVENSGATE) was hired on to direct the below video for the song. Evans said of it:
“The video might be the most fun we’ve ever had filming and it’s the first one I wasn’t the one covered in fake blood, for once everyone else got to be that guy. It was a blast. Massive thank you to Colin Jeffs for pulling no punches on a really cool concept and QLD police for not being able to find the place.”
As for locking in a deal with BLKIIBLK, Evans went on to say:
“Being signed to BLKIIBLK is another clean, exciting gear in the meatgrinder and we couldn’t be more stoked to be working with the team there. Can’t overstate how cool it is to be locked in with the legends there, alongside some bands and names we’ve looked up to most of our lives. Lots of big bullets loaded into this thing, very excited to see the damage they’re capable of.”
