Undeath has shared the new single “Head Splattered in Seven Ways,” from its upcoming sophomore album, “It’s Time … to Rise from the Grave” (April 22, 2022, Prosthetic Records; pre-order here). The Rochester, New York, death metal band’s bloody new music video can be seen below.
“‘Head Splattered in Seven Ways’ is all about the number 7: There’s seven syllables in the title, it’s the seventh song on the record, the verse and chorus are in seven and the bridge section repeats seven times,” guitarist Kyle Beam said. “As if that wasn’t crazy enough, lyrically the song is centered around a deranged interrogation scene with a murderer that possesses psionic powers–the kind capable of making heads explode and splatter in … well, you do the math. Simply put, this is an odd-time death metal banger that you’ll snap your neck trying to headbang along to. Enjoy!”
“I’m really stoked about ‘Head Splattered in Seven Ways,'” vocalist Alexander Jones said. “It’s definitely one of the crazier, more technically intense songs on the record, so I’m excited that we’re getting it out right after ‘Rise from the Grave’, which is by far one of the most straight forward tracks we’ve ever written. Both songs showcase the number one thing that Undeath is about, albeit in very different ways: the power of a dope riff.
“Also, the video that we shot with Errick Easterday is supremely fucked up. Shoutout to McCanns Local Meats, Rochester’s premiere meat emporium, for letting us use their space (and to Mr. McCann himself for starring in the video!) If you’re ever in the area, make sure you swing by for a great banh mi and a cup of coffee.”
